Nonfarm Payrolls – The Main Event
Tonight at 22:30 GMT+7, the US May Nonfarm Payrolls report will be released. Forecast: 95K jobs added, down from 115K previous. The unemployment rate is expected to hold at 3.9%, while average hourly earnings are forecast at +0.3% MoM.
An explosion at Oman's Mina Al Fahal port (suspected drone attack) added fresh supply fears. WTI is trading near $93.50. Any escalation could push prices higher.
