Spec Markets has launched its NFP Forecast Challenge, inviting participants to forecast the direction of the XAUUSD one-minute candle ahead of the upcoming US Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report.
The NFP report is scheduled for release on Friday, October 2, at 8:30 AM ET. Participants must predict whether the XAUUSD one-minute candle will move Up, Down, or Doji, while also entering their forecast price to two decimal places.
The challenge features three cash prizes:
- 1st place: USD 88
- 2nd place: USD 38
- 3rd place: USD 18
To enter, participants must follow Spec Markets’ official page and submit their forecast through the NFP Forecast Challenge entry form. Entries close one hour before the NFP release.
The promotion focuses on a specific market-event forecast, requiring participants to make both a directional prediction and a precise price forecast before the submission deadline.
