Iran launched a surprise attack on Israel in the early hours of the morning, effectively breaking the ceasefire agreement and deepening the shipping crisis in the Straits of Hormuz; OPEC+s increased production is insufficient to offset the shortfall; US inventories have declined for seven consecutive weeks, and global crude oil inventories are at low levels. Multiple factors have pushed up risk premiums, resulting in a significant gap up in early Asian trading this week.On June 8th, local time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy unveiled a new concept for resolving the conflict on the 7th. The core of the plan is a ceasefire to maintain the current posture, followed by negotiations to resolve disputes and quickly end the military conflict, maximizing the protection of civilian and military lives. Zelenskyy stated that this model is currently the fastest way to end the conflict. He pointed out that maintaining the current ceasefire does not mean Ukraine is relinquishing its territorial sovereignty; the core purpose is to protect the lives of its citizens, solidify the current situation, and create favorable conditions and sufficient space for subsequent peace negotiations. Zelenskyy also set clear requirements for the ceasefire conditions. He emphasized that the ceasefire must be comprehensive and monitorable, requiring the participation of international partners such as the United States and Europe to establish a sound international monitoring mechanism. Furthermore, he added that the ceasefire is only a phase, not the final outcome. After a comprehensive ceasefire is implemented, all parties must immediately initiate a diplomatic mediation process, relying on dialogue and consultation to explore a long-term solution to completely end the war.According to Axios: U.S. officials said they do not believe Israel will take any retaliatory action immediately.

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.
