NZ average one-year inflation expectations jumped to 3.41% in Q2 vs. 2.59% in the first quarter of this year.

US October Nonfarm Payrolls Preview: Can Employment Rebound? US Stocks, Dollar and Gold Face Key Test

TradingKey - On Friday, Eastern Time (November 6), the United States will release the October non-farm payrolls report. Current market consensus expects US non-farm payrolls to increase by approximately 65,000 in October, up from 29,000 in September. The unemployment rate is projected to hold steady at 4.2%, while month-over-month average hourly earnings growth may rebound from 0.1% to 0.3%.
