The Unemployment rate is one of the major indicators that affect the market widely, it measures the percentage of the total workforce that is unemployed and actively seeking employment during the previous three months. A higher-than-expected data is bearish for the Yen, and lower-than-expected data is bullish for the Yen. The data came out to be 2.6% rather than the forecasted result of 2.5% which is supposedly bullish for the Yen.
