FXStreet (Ł�dź) - BNP Paribas economist Alexandra Estiot observes that event though today's US NFP gains were substantial, the sectors in which the biggest increase was seen are also the ones that do not pay much.
Key quotes
"Over the month, non-farm payrolls gained 248kwith July and August data revised upwards to 243k and 183k, respectively. In a normal situation that would be healthy reading."
"In the current one, it remains very far from what would be needed to close the slack."
"As for the 'quality' of jobs created, most positions were added in low-pay sectors, as leisure and hospitality (USD13.98 per hour), trade and transport (USD21.44per hour)."
"Still, this report also brings good news. Our view is that the main one is in the acceleration of hiring in the business services industry."
"This sector added 81k positions in September while it represents the bulk of the July and August upward revision."
"Another good news come from the State and local governments, which added 14k positions, mostly in education."

150k yen 108.50. but if cant move below 10837 will reverse and end up abv 109. euro 12650 but again would need to get thru 12670 to rule out risk of flip to lows.
because we counter trended this week, the decision you need to make is whether we are done or whether it has some way to go still. it could be a case of riding the wave or taking a quick profit and flipping. we shall see whats in store soon.

euro. support at 12610/14 and 12580. these levels must be beaten today or market will likely tak advantage of weekly candle building a low and so target 127+ today. it is vital to take these levels out for bears. today.
watch market reaction to number. watch the initial spike for any retracement. if retraces past predata levels its likely market will run to other side and quickly.
on good nfp yen will spike up thru 200 hour ma (109.09). this level would need to be held in order to test 109.86 later today otherwise its highly likely it will test yesterdays low. its the hourly close we are looking at so market has hour an hour to set a bull/bear trap. if dollar pullback is to be registered on a weekly close, a bull trap will be set even on a good number. similarly on a poor number if dollar can fall and retraces past its pre data level, you are likely to see fresh highs vs euro today and towards 110 for yen.

Friday 3 October 2014
Today�s primary focus will be the September US labour market report. Following August�s smaller-than-expected payroll gain, a number of Fed officials have noted signs of a slowing in employment growth. Indeed, the August outturn was a factor in persuading the Fed to keep its forward guidance language unchanged at its recent policy meeting. Given this, the September payroll report takes on particular importance. Another outturn below the year-to-date average of 215k is likely to reinforce the arguments of the doves on the Committee, while a jump back above 200k would likely prompt speculation about a change to the �guidance� at the late October FOMC meeting. Other labour indicators are broadly consistent with stronger employment growth than in August. We expect a gain of 225k and an upward revision to August. The unemployment rate, meanwhile, is predicted to drop to 6.0%, although earnings growth is likely to remain very subdued.

Intra-Day Market Moving News and Views

GBP/USD - ..... The British pound tumbles in European trading after weaker-than-expected Y.K. services PMI. Sep reading hit a 3-month low of 58.7 vs street forecast of 59.1.
Intra-day decline accelerated after stops below Thursday's 1.6112 low were tripped, price has hit intra-day low of 1.6065 at European mid day, the lack of a bounce suggests sterling bears are looking for a re-test of September's 9-1/2 month trough at 1.6052, there is market chatter of fairly large stops building below there, so a break of this lvl may see another 15-20 points decline.
Offers have been lowered to 1.6080/90 and more above with some stops touted above 1.6110, therefore, selling sterling across the board ahead of U.S. jobs data is the way to go.
Reuters reported earlier that Makit/CIPS showed U.K. Service PMI falls to three-month low of 58.7 in September from Aug's 60.5. Markit chief economist Chris Williamson said PMI suggested Q3 GDP +0.8%, only a shade lower than the 0.9% achieved in the Q2, however, risk is seen for a slowdown in Q4.
Cable briefly bounced to 1.6105 after the data but swiftly tanked to a fresh session low at 1.6079, near September's 9-1/2 month trough at 1.6052.

asian buying sees it rally close to the 200 hour ma at 109.08 with further res at 109.13, which i dont see it crossing pre nfp. 50 hour crossed down thru falling 200 hour, so technically its a sell on a return to the 200 hour, but the nfp may result in a brief move much higher, hence i prefer to sell blips pre nfp and flat into it here. after nfp, if good, i see 109.86 possibly before a close under 109, if we are to see further correction. a poor nfp is almost certain to see us test the 107.90 fib again and what happens there will decide the next leg in such a case.

China devaluation

With USDJPY close to 110.00 risks of a devaluation of the remimbi are increasing . Especially with the explosive situation in Hong Kong and the collaps of the Rubble and the Brazilean Real .

Australian Dollar Looks to U.S. Payrolls and RBA Hawks
Reply
SYDNEY--The Australian dollar held its ground Friday in a sleepy session ahead of the release of U.S. employment data later today.
With global markets shaken this week amid fresh doubts about the strength of the global economy, the non-farm payrolls data for September have taken on heightened significance.
Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal estimate the economy added 215,000 jobs last month, up from the 142,000 created in August. The jobless rate is expected to hold steady at 6.1%.
Any disappointment could sees the U.S. dollar retrace some of recent strong rally against most currencies as traders mark down the prospects of higher interest rates in the U.S. in the near term.
"The Asian session had all of the hallmarks of pre-payrolls malaise," said Sue Trinh, currency strategist at RBC Capital Markets.
At 0500 GMT, the Australian dollar changed hands at US$0.8792, compared with US$0.8788 late Thursday.
Looking into next week, a policy meeting at the central bank will take center stage. Some economists are expecting a more hawkish message to emerge from the policy-setting board, reflecting the Australian dollar's sharp decline in the last month.
While a steady rate verdict is a virtual certainty, there are likely to be some more significant changes in the statement than seen for some time, said Su-lin Ong, senior economist at RBC Capital Market, based in Sydney.
"The possible changes will likely be mixed but may, on balance, be slightly hawkish, reflecting some new discussion around the currency," she added.
The Australian dollar has fallen by 6% since the last board meeting, which would be welcome news for the central bank, said Paul Bloxham, chief economist at HSBC, Australia.
With the risk of a housing bubble rising due to very low mortgage rates, Bloxham said he expects the central bank will need to hike earlier than markets expect.
"We expect the RBA to be on hold next week although the language in the statement is likely to be less dovish, given the lower Australian dollar and housing market boom," Mr. Bloxham said.

Australian New Home Sales Rise 3.3% In August Vs July -HIA
Reply
SYDNEY--Australian new-home sales rose strongly in August with a surge in apartment sales driving the increase.
Sales of new homes rose 3.3% from July, according to the Housing Industry Association, an umbrella group for construction firms. The result was driven primarily by a strong lift in the volatile apartments sector, where sales increased by 19.8%, it said.
Despite the rise, HIA economist Diwa Hopkins said the peak in new-home sales likely occurred earlier in the year. "We still hold the view that new home sales reached their peak for the cycle back in April this year," she said.
Robust levels of new housing construction are needed to support the economy over coming years as a mining-investment downturn becomes more pronounced. Strong population growth, a surge in investor demand for property, and record-low interest rates are fueling strong demand for housing.
"It is important for the new home building sector and the broader domestic economy that we continue to see evidence of historically high levels of building approvals and new home sales throughout 2014 and into next year," Ms. Hopkins said.

Australia's RBA Likely More Hawkish at Policy Meeting --
Reply
The policy-making board of Australia's central bank meets for its regular monthly board meeting next Tuesday, October 7, and while a steady rate verdict is a virtual certainty, there are likely to be some more significant changes in the statement than we have seen for some time, says Su-lin Ong, senior economist at RBC Capital Market. The possible changes will likely be mixed but may, on balance, be slightly hawkish, reflecting some new discussion around the currency and housing although this should be tempered by comments on weaker commodity prices, Ong says. "It is probably still too soon to drop the reference to a period of stability, but it cannot be ruled out the longer cash stays unchanged," Ong adds

Sept plug factor is usually negative past few years so minus 16 to 25 - gov hiring may have picked up more than expected and everybody and his dog expects AUG payrolls to be revised up by 40k (a small revision would send tremors into Q3 GDP calcs) - 235K is my guess for tomorrow (As retirements increase NFP will become inflated)// Unemployment rate (NSA) has been worrisome over the summer but headline of 5.9% is the guess for tomorrow
