Extended data
Non-agricultural data can greatly affect the dollar value of the money market. A vibrant employment report can push up interest rates, make the dollar more attractive to foreign investors, and earn interest income by holding US treasury bonds.
On the other hand, a bad employment report will weaken the demand for dollars, because it will bring trouble to the US stock market and put downward pressure on interest rates. Both of them will make the dollar less attractive to foreigners.
Non-agricultural data was better than expected, the US economy improved, the US dollar rose and crude oil fell. Non-agricultural data was worse than expected, the US economy deteriorated, the dollar fell, and crude oil rose. Non-agriculture affects the dollar price, and all financial products related to the dollar price will be greatly affected.
