EURUSD is stable after Friday’s statistics on the US labour market.
The major currency pair is looking neutral early in the week. The current quote for the instrument is 1.1863.
The Unemployment Rate in the USA dropped to 5.2% in August, the same as expected, after being 5.4% in the previous month. The Average Hourly Earnings added 0.6% m/m after expanding by 0.4% m/m in July and against the expected reading of 0.3% m/m.
The Non-Farm Employment Change showed 235K, which is significantly worse than the expected reading of 720K. The July reading was revised upwards and showed 1.053M.
The demand for service dropped in August due to an increasing spread of the coronavirus disease and it influenced the number of new jobs. At the same time, the impulse on the labour market was strong enough to support the average growth in the country.
