Non-farm Payrolls

Mainly explain the non-agricultural employment, unemployment rate and other data, reflecting the national income and expenditure, employment and unemployment. A drop in employment and an increase in the unemployment rate indicate that economic development is hindered, and vice versa.
This data is released by the U.S. Department of Labor and is released on the first Friday of each month at 21:30 DST at 20:30 DST.

Consumer Price Index(CPI)

If the consumer price index rises, inflation may rise, and the Fed tends to raise interest rates, which is good for the dollar. But hyperinflation or deflation is not good for the exchange rate.
The data is released by the US Bureau of Labor at 23:00 on the third week of each month.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

The steady growth of the data indicates that the economy is booming and the national income has increased, which is favorable for the dollar exchange rate. If GDP falls for two consecutive quarters, it is considered a recession.

Interest Rate

The level of interest rates will affect whether the country’s capital market is favored, which will also affect the direction of the currency exchange rate. A currency with a high interest rate increases the demand for the currency in the country due to its higher rate of return, and the exchange rate appreciates.

U.S. interest rates are determined by Fed, which generally holds a two-day policy meeting in the first half of the month.
