What a surprise usually does

Above the forecast: A clear beat can support the dollar, particularly if payrolls are also strong and markets see persistent wage pressure.

Below the forecast: A miss can weaken the dollar by easing inflation concerns and increasing rate-cut expectations.

In line with the forecast: An in-line result leaves the focus on payrolls, unemployment and revisions.
