It is an unusual one to see it on a Wednesday but it is what it is after the brief US government shutdown at the start of the month.The report today will also feature annual adjustments from the benchmark revision up to March 2025 as well as an update to the birth-death model starting from April 2025 onwards with seasonal adjustment factors for the past five years. So, that will make for a less straightforward data release when trying to size up the impact later.In markets, the dollar is weaker in the run up to the key risk event. USD/JPY continues to be pulled lower, down 0.5% to 153.60 on the day.

Gold and silver buyers are already on the edge of their seats, pushing up price as we build towards the non-farm payrolls.Gold is up 1.2% to $5,083 after a briefly clipping the $5,100 mark while silver is starting to gather more near-term bullish conviction as gains near 6% to $85.47 on the day.As for the broader risk mood, it's a bit more mixed with European indices slightly lower at the balance while US futures are keeping steadier. Wall Street observed a more sluggish showing yesterday but the mood today will largely depend on what the US labour market report has to offer. US futures are up just 0.1% currently.Meanwhile, Bitcoin is down over 2% on the day to $67,268 as cryptocurrencies continue to struggle to stay afloat on the week. The bounce from $60,000 last week looks to be short-lived but we'll see how traders will take to the jobs numbers later and if that will provide any short-term respite for cryptocurrencies.Well, it's time to count down to the only game in town today. 35 minutes and under now.
