Seasonals from BMO:

    In April, the headline beat 57% of the time and missed 43% of the timeOn unemployment, the rate has been lower than expected 42% of the time, higher 39% of the time and in line 19% of the time

    ADP looms large ahead of the report and the recent JOLTS number was soft but the initial jobless claims numbers lately haven't shown any sign of layoffs, including today's number which was skewed by New York teachers.

    I'd note that the recent US dollar outperformance is based on the idea that tariffs won't hit as hard and the Fed won't need to rush into cuts. That's a dangerous assumption ahead of a jobs report.
