US Federal Reserve, European Central Bank and Bank of England signaled that they would continue to raise them at their next meeting. Today, investors and traders will pay close attention to the US January Nonfarm Payrolls report. Nonfarm payrolls measure the number of US workers excluding farm workers and some government workers, as well as private household employees.
The Labor Department's nonfarm payrolls report is expected to show growth, with economists forecasting a headline print of 185,000 new jobs, compared with 223,000 in December. From an unemployment perspective, the jobless Rate is expected to inch higher to 3.6%. A strong employment number might cause Fed officials to consider raising further its key interest rates in a move to curb inflation.
