T.F.I.F., market is awaiting release of U.S. jobs report but this may turn out to a non event as markets are well-prepared for an Omicron-driven drop in January payrolls after a surprise negative reading in ADP private payrolls (-301k actual vs +207K forecast) on Wed. In addution, several Fed officials in recent days have signalled comfort with the underlying direction of U.S. economy and focus is inflation, so next Thur’s release of Jan’s CPI will grab more attention, however, beware of better-than-expected NFP which may trigger pre-weekend short covering in the greenback.
