For the first time in six years, the much-anticipated NFP jobs data every first week of the month, falls on a Good Friday holiday on which most major markets are closed.
Subsequently, investors can see low liquidity in market movements when employment data is published.
Analysts expect a stronger reading, with key employment growth expected to rise to 652,000 and the unemployment rate projected to decline to 6.0%.
However, average hourly earnings are expected to remain slow with an increase of only 0.1%.
Market expectations for the upside, were further strengthened by some previously published economic data displaying better -than -expected readings.
For example, ADP employment data published on Wednesday showed strong growth from 176,000 to 517,000 in March.
Meanwhile, the average unemployment claim for 4 weeks showed a fall last month and continued to rise below 4 million.
In addition, the market was also marked by the reading of the employment component in ISM manufacturing which recorded a significant increase.
With these encouraging numbers, the market is confident the NFP employment data will post a stronger reading in March.
