Market Update: French Final Private Payrolls Continue to Grow Slowly

French Final Private Payrolls show a change in the number of employed people, excluding the farming industry and government. As per the recent report, France net payroll job creation reached +15,000 (that is +0.1%), after +15,900 in the previous quarter.

Payroll employment declined again in the public sector (-7,400), and increased slowly again in the private sector (+22,400). It’s a negative news from the trading point of view, but the EUR/USD is steady at $1.1366, showing a muted response to the release.
