BlockBeats News, April 3rd: The "Qingming Festival" coincided with the Western "Easter" holiday, causing many financial markets to enter holiday mode. On April 3rd, stock markets in Europe, the US, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia, and other places were closed for the day; the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) suspended trading of precious metals and WTI crude oil futures for the entire day, while forex, US stock, and US Treasury futures closed early; the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) suspended trading of Brent crude oil futures for the day; the Shanghai Gold Exchange, Shanghai Futures Exchange, Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange, and Dalian Commodity Exchange did not conduct night trading.
The US March non-farm payroll report will be released tonight at 20:30. The market expects an increase of 60,000 jobs, breaking free from the previous "negative growth" trend. US stocks and international gold, silver, and oil are not trading today, but given the data's significance to the Federal Reserve's interest rate path, it may trigger a market surge next Monday. Please pay attention to related risks. (FX Street)
