Today at 15:30 we expect the publication of data on new jobs in the US. Expectations are the economy added 200,000 new jobs, unemployment to fall to 4.7% from 4.8% and average hourly pay increase.
The number of new jobs will support the FED idea to raise interest rates next week.
On Thursday, economists at Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley hiked their forecasts for the number of jobs the US gained after a private-payrolls report from ADP Research Institute showed a blockbuster gain of 298,000.
From Goldman and UBS raised their forecasts and expect to 25,000 more jobs than 215,000.
Friday's jobs report will be the first that covers a full period with Donald Trump as president.
In his speech to Congress last month, he said ninety-four million Americans were out of the labor force. But that includes students, retirees, and others who are in their prime-working age but aren't necessarily looking for work.
At Thursday S&P500 climbed 0.05 per cent in early trading to 2,365.6, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up by the same margin to 20,865.3, and the Nasdaq Composite was little changed at 5,837.4.
