Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Bitcoin, NFP & AI – American Wrap 3 November
|Bitcoin price spikes in response to US Nonfarm Payrolls for October
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) released the highly-anticipated Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) report early on Friday. The economy added 150,000 jobs, 30,000 below the market participants’ expectations.
The US Federal Reserve takes NFP data as input for its decision to hike interest rates or keep them higher for longer. The cooling job market is conducive to a shift in the Fed’s stance and traders’ fears of an interest rate hike are likely to be alleviated.
