📊 Jobs Week: What Traders Need to Watch After the Fed The Fed held rates at 3.50%-3.75% - but four dissents, a frozen Chair transition, and a Middle East conflict keeping oil near $100 have left markets anything but calm. Now all eyes turn to Friday's NFP report (May 8), with consensus expecting just 49,000 jobs added in April - well below recent averages. Unemployment seen steady at 4.3%. Before Friday, the week delivers: 📅 Tuesday: ISM Services PMI + JOLTS 📅 Wednesday: ADP Employment Change 📅 Thursday: Initial Jobless Claims What's at stake: 💵 USD - DXY hovering near 98. A strong NFP beat could push it back toward 99-100. A big miss opens the door to 96-97. 🥇 Gold - Trading near $4,615, down ~15% from its 2026 peak. Caught between safe-haven demand and a rate-frozen Fed. NFP is the next key trigger. 🛢️ Oil - WTI near $99 after pulling back from $107. Every Iran headline moves it more than any data release right now. 📈 Equities - S&P 500 near 7,230 after April's strong monthly gain. Solid earnings season, but NFP + oil headlines could flip sentiment fast. One data point. Multiple markets. Friday 8:30 AM ET - don't miss it. ⏰ 👉 Open your NordFX account and trade it live: https://my.nordfx.com/en/regis...
