In August, Nonfarm Payrolls rose by just 22,000 jobs, well below expectations (75,000), while the unemployment rate climbed to 4.3%, the highest since 2021. Revisions to June and July data confirm that this slowdown is structural, not temporary. This cooling in employment is accompanied by other negative signals: a decline in job openings (JOLTS) and a rise in layoffs. ๐Ÿฅถ ๐Ÿ”ป ษชแดแดแด‡แด…ษชแด€แด›แด‡ ษชแดแด˜แด€แด„แด› แดษด ๊œฐษชษดแด€ษดแด„ษชแด€สŸ แดแด€ส€แด‹แด‡แด›๊œฑ ๐Ÿ”ป โ€ข Treasuries: Yields tumbled, with the 2Y at 3.509% (5-month low) and the 10Y at 4.076%, driven by rising expectations of a Fed rate cut on September 17. The CME FedWatch Tool now shows a 90% probability of a 25bps cut, with increased odds for two more cuts by year-end. โ€ข Gold: Surged 1.15% to $3,589/oz, a new all-time high, supported by a weaker dollar and falling yields.

However, next weekโ€™s CPI data could shift the picture. A core CPI of +0.3% m/m is expected โ€” any upside surprise could send the 10Y yield spiking back toward 4.5%, as seen in 2024. ๐˜ฟ๐™š๐™ก๐™ž๐™˜๐™–๐™ฉ๐™š ๐˜ฝ๐™–๐™ก๐™–๐™ฃ๐™˜๐™š The Fed appears to have the green light to cut rates, but remains cautious amid tariff risks, a growing deficit, and goods-driven inflation. The real challenge: balancing monetary stimulus with price stability, all in a global context still plagued by geopolitical tensions and trade uncertainty (Russia-Ukraine war, U.S. tariffs, legal disputes over Trump-era policies). ๐Ÿ” ๐™„๐™ฃ ๐™Ž๐™ช๐™ข๐™ข๐™–๐™ง๐™ฎ The U.S. labor market is cooling. The time for rate cuts has come, but it remains to be seen whether theyโ€™ll be enough for a soft landing, or if we're already heading for a sharper slowdown. Letโ€™s remember thereโ€™s always a lag between rate changes and their real effects on the economy. ๐Ÿ™ ๐™๐™๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ ๐™จ ๐™›๐™ค๐™ง ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช๐™ง ๐™˜๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ช๐™š๐™™ ๐™จ๐™ช๐™ฅ๐™ฅ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฉ. โ“Has the Fed waited too long to cut ratesโ“
