Slow August Jobs Report Fuels Fed Cut Expectations The latest U.S. jobs report highlights a clear slowdown in the labor market, reinforcing the case for a Federal Reserve rate cut later this month. Nonfarm payroll growth came in at just 22,000 jobs, while the unemployment rate rose to 4.3%, its highest level since 2021. This marks a dramatic cooling in hiring momentum. Markets reacted positively: stocks rallied, bond prices climbed, and yields dropped as investors increasingly bet on imminent monetary easing. Safe-haven assets such as gold and Bitcoin strengthened, while the U.S. dollar weakened. With this data, markets now see a 25-basis-point cut at the Fed’s September meeting as highly likely, with room for further easing if economic data continues to soften. 📌 What this could mean for investors: - Equities in rate-sensitive sectors (tech, real estate, discretionary) may benefit. - Bonds and gold could gain further as yields decline. - Currency traders may see opportunities from a weaker U.S. dollar.
