What a surprise usually does
Above the forecast: A clear beat usually supports the dollar, especially with firm wages and no rise in unemployment; the move can be strong.
Below the forecast: A notable miss usually weighs on the dollar if it signals cooling demand and encourages Fed cuts; the move can be strong.
In line with the forecast: An in-line total often produces a limited reaction, but wages, unemployment and revisions may still move the dollar.
