A stronger than expected jobs report is framed as delaying rate cuts, raising yields and inflation fears, and contributing to equity selling even with markets closed for the holiday.
BREAKING: US jobs just came in at 178,000. Wall Street expected 65,000. Unemployment fell to 4.3%. Not what stocks wanted to see. Stronger economy = fewer Fed cuts, higher yields, and more inflation fears.
Fed funds futures now price an 89.7% probability of no rate cuts this year, with the next expected cut pushed out to September 2027.
Jobs Will be revised. Market knows. Sold off. Also delays any chance of rate cuts.
