Economic calendar: US NFP in the spotlight

• US Non Farm Payrolls
• Brexit talks in Brussels
• Trump tests positive for the coronavirus

It’s a busy day ahead on the economic calendar. NFP report release is a big event of the day (1:30 pm BST) and is likely to impact FX pairs and stocks. It is expected to show the US unemployment rate rising to 8.2% in September. Other stats include prelim Eurozone inflation figures and set of data from the US - wage growth, factory orders, and finalized consumer sentiment figures, though likely to have a muted impact on the markets. Apart from that, sentiment is likely to be driven by US politics and talks over the next stimulus bill. US House passed a $2.2 trillion virus relief plan on Thursday, despite Democrats and Republicans were divided on key items in the legislation. However, the bill faces considerable opposition from Republican-held Senate. Also updates regarding Presidents Trump health condition and news from Brexit talks in Brussels could cause some market movements.
