Overview
NFP combines payroll change, unemployment rate, participation, and average hourly earnings. Markets care about the Fed reaction function: strong wages + cooling inflation reads differently than strong jobs + sticky inflation.Practical takeaway
Trade the distribution, not the headline alone. Options-implied moves often underestimate tail gaps; use risk limits around the release.How this connects to Finvestopia
