Long-awaited US NFP report for August has been released at 1:30 pm BST. Report showed a small headline miss but given lacklustre ADP reading on Wednesday, it can be considered a beat. Below there a key takeaways from the report:

  • Employment change:  1317k vs 1400k expected

  • Unemployment rate: 8.4% vs 9.8% expected

  • Wage growth:  4.7% YoY vs 4.5% YoY expected

Report confirmed that recovery in the US labour market moderated. A steep drop in unemployment rate is somewhat puzzling. USD, gold and stock market indices jumped in a knee-jerk move. However, gains on gold and USD were quickly erased while equities seesawed.
