On the face of it it's an on the money number but the revision is adding some positivity. The working hours tick up is the first jump for 4 months
We look to be trading some relief that things aren't worse, rather than because it's a great report. It's actually a steady number but I'll get the rest of the details up so we can have a look
EURUSD has fallen to 1.0861 which is old support. 1.0840/45 is another level to watch if we carry on lower and the big level is 1.0820/25. Far below support 3 lines on 1.0800/1.0780 area. It need close above 1.0900 area to counter bearish trend
