Non-farm Payrolls

U.S. job growth surged in June as manufacturers and other employers boosted hiring, confirming that the economy has regained speed after the first-quarter lull, but tepid wages suggested the Federal Reserve will probably not raise the interest rates soon. Non-farm payrolls increased by 287,000 jobs last month, the largest gain since last October, the Labor Department said on Friday. May payrolls were revised sharply down to show them rising 11,000 rather than the previously reported 38,000.

Trade Idea

Considering the overall technical and fundamental outlook, selling the pair around the current levels could be a good strategy if we get a valid bearish reversal candle on the daily chart.
