I was seeing that the US payroll data was on the schedule for release that night in February. The crowd was expecting the unemployment rate around 4.3%, but there was quite a variation in forecasts, ranging between 4.2% and 4.4%. As for non-farm payrolls, things were much more uncertain - the numbers fluctuated a lot, from a decline of 9 thousand to an increase of 125 thousand jobs. The median I saw was around 59 thousand new jobs. These data tend to move the market quite a bit, so it was good to stay alert to what came out of there.
