The ILO Unemployment Rate released by INSEE is the number of unemployed workers compared to all the active workers in the economy. If the number rises, it indicates a lack of expansion within the French labor market and thus a weakening in the economy. Normally, a decrease in the figure is seen as positive (or bullish) for the Euro, while an increase is seen as negative (or bearish).
The typical/expected impact on EUR pairs is Low.
Lower numbers than forecast tend to be bullish for xxx/EUR pairs and bearish for EUR/xxx pairs.
