US monthly jobs report overview Friday's US economic docket highlights the release of the closely watched US monthly jobs data, popularly known as NFP. The report is scheduled to be released at 12:30 GMT and is expected to show that the US economy added 1.6 million jobs in July, far lower than the previous month's reading of 4.8 million. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate is anticipated to have edged lower to 10.5% from 11.1% recorded in June.

How could the data affect EUR/USD?

A disappointing reading will further fuel concerns about the US economic recovery could be stalling again due to the country's poor performance in containing the coronavirus outbreak. This, in turn, will prompt some fresh selling around the USD and set the stage for an extension of the EUR/USD pair's recent bullish run witnessed over the past one month or so. Meanwhile, a stronger-than-expected reading might provide some respite to the USD bulls, albeit might still not be enough to change the well-established bearish trend. Hence, any immediate reaction to the upbeat report is more likely to remain short-lived, instead fizzle out rather quickly. Meanwhile, Yohay Elam;  FXStreet's own Analyst provided important technical levels to trade the EUR/USD pair: "Resistance awaits at 1.1850, which provided some support when EUR/USD traded on higher ground. It is followed by the 1.1909-1.1916 area – combining July's and August's peaks. The next level is the psychologically significant 1.20. Support awaits at the daily low of 1.1820, followed by 1.1780, which was a stepping stone on the way up. Next, 1.1730 and 1.17 provide support."
