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.
