The United States will release its September nonfarm payrolls report at 20:30 (UTC+8) on Friday. According to PANews, a latest Reuters survey shows U.S. nonfarm payrolls are expected to rise by 90,000 in September, down from 162,000 in August, while the unemployment rate is expected to remain at 4.1% for a third straight month.

The report comes after the Federal Reserve raised rates in September for the first time in three years and is one of the key data points used to assess whether the labor market remains resilient and whether another rate increase may be needed in October.
