The March non-farm payrolls report will be released at 8:30 am ET on Good Friday, April 3, when US stock markets are closed. This calendar collision occurs due to the lunar-based Good Friday date coinciding with the BLS employment report schedule. The unusual timing affects USD pairs as traders will react to employment data without equity market participation. Forex markets remain open while stocks are closed, potentially creating heightened volatility in dollar trades.
