    Bentano don't know much how the futures move on non farm payroll but i will say that fx pairs during this news event can be very volatile and what the pros look for is better or worse numbers than expected over the forecast number i.e. if they forecast say 100k new jobs and there's a 50k deviation either way then we either get a buy or sell trigger providing there's no conflict with the unemployment rate.But lets say forecast for jobs is 100k and we get 30k come in and forecast for unemployment was lets say 9.6 and we get 9.8 there's confirmation now with the unemploment rate that this indicates a sell on eur/jpy,usd/jpy,gbp/jpy.So this report sort of sets up the day for the dow as it is probably the biggest report of the month.
