On May 23, Changqiao Securities issued further clarification regarding recent regulatory matters concerning cross-border securities business in China. Changqiao Securities stated that the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), among other mainland regulatory authorities, have recently issued new regulatory requirements for cross-border securities business, establishing unified industry-wide standards for related services to mainland investors. These regulatory rules apply to all overseas financial institutions. Changqiao is actively responding to the regulatory guidelines from both regions and will strictly adhere to the relevant requirements to steadily advance its compliance work. Changqiao Securities stated that the scope of accounts targeted for this regulatory cleanup is limited and clearly defined, primarily targeting two types of accounts: investment accounts opened using suspicious or forged documents, and investment accounts with zero balances and no activity. Normal, compliant client accounts with genuine assets and holdings are not within the scope of this cleanup. Changqiao firmly supports the regulators zero-tolerance attitude towards fraudulent account openings and will strictly handle such cases in accordance with regulatory requirements.The General Staff of Ukraine stated that Ukraine attacked Russias Seshkalis Black Sea oil terminal and the nearby Grushnova oil depot.According to Iranian state television, the chief of the Pakistani army left Tehran after a second meeting with the Iranian foreign minister.U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio: He reviewed recent bilateral achievements with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as well as the significant investments made to advance the “500 Mission” (aiming to double bilateral trade by 2030).U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio: U.S. energy products have the potential to diversify India’s energy supply.

What impact does NFP have on the forex market?

Nonfarm payroll employment is a compiled name for goods, construction and manufacturing companies in the US. It does not include farm workers, private household employees, or non-profit organization employees.

It is an influential statistic and economic indicator released monthly by the United States Department of Labor as part of a comprehensive report on the state of the labor market.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics releases data on the first Friday of the month, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. 

This data is analyzed closely because of its importance in identifying the rate of economic growth and inflation.

Nonfarm payroll is included in the monthly Employment Situation or informally the jobs report and affects the US dollar, the Foreign exchange market, the bond market, and the stock market.

The markets react very quickly and most of the time in a very volatile fashion around the time the NFP data is released. The short-term market moves indicate that there is a very strong correlation between the NFP data and the strength of the US dollar. Historical price movement data shows a small negative correlation between the NFP data and the US dollar Index.

The figure released is the change in nonfarm payrolls (NFP), compared to the previous month, and is usually between +10,000 and +250,000 during non-recessional times. The NFP number is meant to represent the number of jobs added or lost in the economy over the last month, not including jobs relating to the farming industry.

As with other indicators, the difference between the actual non-farm data and expected figures will determine the overall impact on the market. If the non-farm payroll is expanding, this is a good indication that the economy is growing, and vice versa. However, if increases in non-farm payroll occur at a fast rate, this may lead to an increase in inflation. In forex, the level of actual non-farm payroll compared to payroll estimates is taken very seriously. If the actual data comes in lower than economists' estimates, forex traders will usually sell U.S. dollars in anticipation of a weakening currency. The opposite is true when the data is higher than economists' expectations.
