How gold and EUR/USD moved on past NFP days

For every NFP since January 2024: the change in gold (XAU/USD) and in EUR/USD from the daily price before the release day to the daily price after it, so the window always contains the release. On average gold moved 1.09% over these windows, against 1.35% over an ordinary two-day window in the same period; it rose in 18 of 32. Over a full two days the release move is often absorbed by the rest of the trading; the sharp part comes in the first minutes after the release, which daily prices cannot show. EUR/USD moved an average of 51 pips.

A positive EUR/USD figure means the euro rose against the dollar. The headline is the latest published figure for that month, including later revisions, from our event data.

Trading gold around NFP days

The jobs report comes out at 8:30 am New York time, usually on the first Friday of the month. A strong payrolls number tends to lift the dollar and weigh on gold, and a weak one the reverse, but the unemployment rate, wage growth and revisions to earlier months can change the reaction within minutes. Liquidity is thin in the first seconds, and slippage is common.
