There aren't too many economic releases scheduled for today but those that will be published are certainly worth attention. Namely, both Canada and the United States will release labour market data for September at 1:30 pm BST today.
Of course, it is the US report (NFP) that will be the most closely watched, mostly because of its impact on future Fed policy. The US central bank said during its latest meeting that should the economy continue to develop as expected, a taper announcement will come soon. Markets believe that strong NFP reading today will cement the decision to officially announce tapering of asset purchases during the Fed's meeting in November. Having said that, beat in today's US jobs numbers may see the US dollar strengthen. When it comes to Canadian report, the market expects weaker job creation than last month and a drop of unemployment rate below 7.0%.
