Non Farm Payrolls (NFP) data was released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, and measured changes in the number of workers outside the agricultural sector over a period of one month. NFP is the initial indicator of consumer spending and overall economic activity, making it an important consideration for the Fed in determining interest rates.

ENGLAND AND EU ACHIEVE BREXIT REVISION AGREEMENTS

Britain and the European Union reached a revised Brexit agreement in the final minutes of Monday night with them finally eliminating the biggest obstacle point in their Brexit divorce agreement, just hours before the British Parliament will decide on an agreement on Tuesday (12/3) night.

Ahead of the parliamentary vote, May flew to Strasbourg, France, to look for revisions, guarantees or other changes from European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker who would persuade British legislators who were reluctant to support withdrawal agreements with the European Union.

PM May said the new documents to be added to the agreement provided "legally binding changes" to parts relating to the Irish border. The legal withdrawal agreement of 585 pages was left intact.

"In politics, sometimes you get a second chance. What you do with this second chance is taken into account. Because there won't be a third chance," Juncker warned British lawmakers who would vote or not in the draft on Tuesday night.

May said the changes must address parliamentarians' doubts about the mechanisms in the agreement designed to keep open borders between Northern Ireland and the EU member states of Ireland. The mechanism, known as backstop, is a protection that will keep Britain in the customs agency together with the European Union until there are new permanent trade relations.

Brexit supporters in the UK are worried that the backstop can be used to tie the country to EU regulations without limits even though the UK itself has been released from the EU on March 29.

May said the new words "will guarantee that the European Union cannot act with the intention of implementing backstop without limits."

"Now is the time to jointly support this better Brexit agreement and fulfill the wishes of the British people," he said.

But the change seems to be far from the demands of pro Brexit MPs at the UK exit mechanism from the backstop. They want the UK to decide to leave the customs agency with the EU unilaterally without an agreement with the EU.

Pro-Brexit lawmakers said they would read the draft agreement on the revised results first and await the decision of the British attorney general before deciding how to vote on Tuesday.

the British parliamentary chair refused the proposal of the British prime minister

British Prime Minister Theresa May's plan to hold a third vote in parliament over the Brexit agreement with the European Union before Thursday's European Union summit was rejected by Parliament Speaker John Bercow yesterday afternoon.

Bercow said that further voting in the House of Commons can only be done if there is a change in the contents of the agreement that was offered May at the second voting last week.

Theresa May seems to have a number of options ahead. He could hijack regardless and try to persuade the Speaker of the Parliament to allow him to submit his agreement to Parliament again, arguing that any new concessions to Northern Ireland resulting from negotiations with DUP in the past few days did represent far different propositions. That approach might be the most characteristic, but it might also fail to get approval from MPs,

ADB PREDICTION OF EMERGING MARKET ECONOMIC GROWTH SLOWS IN TWO YEARS


The Asian Development Bank (ADB) predicts economic growth in emerging market countries in the Asian region is expected to slow for two consecutive years in 2019 and lose further momentum in 2020.

This ADB analysis considers the possibility of increasing economic risk from the protracted US-China trade war and potentially chaotic Brexit.

In the Asia Development Outlook report, ADB revealed that the economy of 45 Asian developing countries in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow 5.7 this year. This growth is lower than the projections carried out last year where ADB estimated growth of 5.8 percent in 2018 and growth of 6.2 percent in 2017.

IMF Will Reduce Global Growth

While the International Monetary Fund (IMF) plans to cut further global growth projections this year. The IMF estimates that global economic growth this year will be slower than previous projections. The reason is, two-thirds of world countries tend to experience an economic slowdown.

This was conveyed by IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde in a speech ahead of the spring meeting with the World Bank, Tuesday (2/4/2019) local time.

According to him, the world economy is vulnerable to shocks caused by Brexit, high debt levels, trade wars, and anxiety in the financial markets. Lagarde will announce this global economic outlook next week.

This is the third time the IMF has cut its forecast for global economic growth. First, in October last year the IMF had cut the global economic outlook, from 3.9 percent to 3.7 percent.

Then on January 21 the IMF estimated global growth this year at 3.5 percent, down from last year's 3.7 percent growth and from the 3.7 percent forecast made last October.

US NFP NUMBERS ARE EXPECTED TO BREAK SHARP


Government data on Thursday showed US unemployment benefits fell last week to a 49-year low. The sharp decline in people who submit jobless claims is referred to as an indicator of high absorption in employment that will be reflected in the release of Non Farm Payroll (NFP) tonight.

The number of people who submitted new applications for unemployment benefits in the US for last week fell to multi-decade lows. This signals that conditions in the labor market may not be too bad amid a sharp decline in recent economic indicators.

The US Department of Labor reported Thursday that initial claims for unemployment benefits at the weekly rate until the end of March 30 fell by 10,000 to a total of 202,000. That was the lowest level since December 1969.

Previous analysts estimate for a claim of 216,000. For the previous week's data was revised up to 212,000.

Economists surveyed showed a median estimate of March's NFP of 172 thousand, far surpassing February's employment of only 20 thousand.

US LABOR MARKET RETURNS BACK IN MARCH, ADDING 196 THOUSANDS OF WORKERS



Job creation recorded a solid increase in March, with the non-farm payrolls figure increasing by 196,000 and the unemployment rate steady at 3.8%, according to the labor statistics bureau report on Friday.

The figure was better than the Dow Jones estimate of 175,000 growth and came after disappointing growth in February that made economists wonder whether the economic expansion that had been around for a long time was nearing its end. For the unemployment rate in accordance with expectations.

For wage growth rates down from the strong pace of late, it only rose 0.14% to the monthly level and 3.2% at the annual rate, below expectations for 3.4% growth,

The US non-farm payroll figure for this month came after a sharp decline in February which only added 20,000, which was finally revised up to 33,000 in a March report. The large increase in January which amounted to 311,000 was also pushed up to 312,000, becoming an average increase in the past three months to 180,000. This is still quite solid under the monthly average increase of 233,000 throughout 2018,

The US dollar slumped on Monday as US bond yields extended their decline after the US employment report showed wage growth lost momentum even as labor absorption increased.

Nonfarm payrolls data rose 196,000 in March, exceeding expectations and in February, but wage data showed growth tended to stagnate as hourly average earnings rose only 0.1 percent after surging 0.4 percent in February.

US Treasury yields slipped and weighed on the dollar as moderation in wage growth supported the Federal Reserve's decision to postpone further interest rate increases this year.

The dollar index that measures the greenback's strength against a basket of six major currencies edged down 0.13 percent to 97.25, correcting modest gains Friday.

trading of major currency pairs is very active. At the same time there is no one-way trend (unidirectional). The dollar index (#DX) consolidates near bi-weekly highs. Hopes for a trade agreement between Washington and Beijing have led to an increase in demand for risk assets. US President Donald Trump said that the two countries were very close to a trade agreement that might be announced in four weeks. Investors continue to monitor the situation regarding Brexit. On Friday, the US published a fairly optimistic labor market report for March. Financial market participants look forward to the minutes of the FOMC meeting and the ECB meeting.

Economists at Goldman Sachs Group Inc
predict the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike will back up to three quarters of the original forecast. 
The bank from the United States now estimates that the Fed will raise interest in the fourth quarter of 2020 from the first quarter of the same year.

Goldman economists say the Federal Reserve faces the challenge of raising interest rates amid low inflation and political oversight, especially from President Donald Trump, against the central bank's decision.

This shift in the estimated increase in interest occurred even when Sachs raised its estimate of US gross domestic product to 2.5 percent in the second half of 2019 and 2.25 percent in the first half of 2020.

The better factor in US economic growth makes Goldman Sachs sure there will be a second increase in the Fed's interest in 2021.

"Amid the conditions of the expansion of the normal US business cycle on trends, the tightening of a sustainable labor market, and sustained easing in financial conditions, we think that the FOMC is likely to continue at least a very gradual tightening step," Goldman economists included Jan Hatzius and David Mericle in his notes.

Safe assets such as the Japanese Yen edged up slightly while the Chinese Yuan and Australian Dollar slipped on Monday after the latest tensions in the US-China trade war.

The two countries with the strongest economies in the world were deadlocked over trade negotiations on Sunday when Washington demanded a promise of concrete changes to Chinese and Beijing laws saying it would not swallow "bitter fruit" which damaged its interests.

Tensions have taken place since Friday, the United States has raised tariffs of $ 200 billion on Chinese goods, China has also responded but has not made it in detail.

Tensions between the US and China regarding increasingly high trading and the yen have benefited while the Australian dollar is weakening due to the conflict, said Masafumi Yamamoto Strategic Forex Head Mizuho Japan.

Overall the response from financial markets is still limited, however there are several supporting factors that are expected to solve the problem. like the possibility that the two presidents will meet at the G20 meeting.

US President Donald Trump and his colleague Xi Jinping may meet at the G20 meeting held in Japan in late June to discuss trade, White House adviser Larry Kudlow said on Sunday.
