🔊 market event to look out for: non-farm payroll
the nonfarm payrolls report, which provides monthly data on U.S. employment excluding agricultural jobs, is in the spotlight as wall street braces for potential market shifts. the resilience of the recent labor market has raised concerns. if the labor market remains strong, the federal reserve might sustain higher interest rates, potentially affecting the U.S. economy at a crucial juncture. dow jones surveys predict 170,000 new jobs for september, but higher numbers could unsettle the market.
recent trends have shown a drop in weekly jobless claims, signaling employers' hesitation to reduce payrolls. the prevalent notion is that in uncertain economic times, employers might slow hiring but aren't necessarily looking to reduce workforce size just yet. if Friday's results echo strength, the markets might be in for another jolt.

trade ideas
trade: long AUD/ USD
over the past weeks, the aussie dollar had predominantly hovered within the ~6520 =>.6360 range. however, a noticeable shift was seen when the price fell outside the range; touching lows near ~0.629.
currently, with the currency having rebounded above the range low - and back in range - there's an expectation of it possibly returning to its previous range trading.
if this pattern holds true, there's potential for a movement back towards the upper resistance, set at ~.652. traders might find this a moment to consider initiating a LONG position, targeting this resistance level.
however, as with all trades, it's crucial to be prepared for any eventualities. therefore, setting a strict stop loss at ~0.632 could be considered prudent.
