The United States October employment report will be published Friday November 6. The report will inform Federal Reserve monetary policy decisions.[^1]

The Federal Reserve held interest rates unchanged and upgraded its assessment of the US economy earlier in the prior week.[^2]

Stronger than expected employment data would reduce Federal Reserve incentives to loosen monetary policy. Such results would also keep additional interest rate hikes possible.[^3]

Federal Reserve monetary policy decisions will be published at 22:00 TRT, moving one hour later from the previous 21:00 TRT schedule.[^4]
