6. After U.S. Employment Data Release, Probability of Rate Cut in March Rises to 16%

On February 6, the number of initial jobless claims in the U.S. for the week ending January 31 was 231,000, higher than the expected 212,000; ADP research showed that private sector employment increased by only 22,000 jobs in January, below market expectations, with the previous month's data revised down. This data has drawn market attention to the Federal Reserve's March decision, with Polymarket data showing that the probability of a rate cut in March has risen from 8% two days ago to 16%, while the probability of maintaining the current rate has dropped from 91% to 82%. AI Interpretation: The higher-than-expected initial jobless claims indicate increasing pressure in the labor market, which may lead the Federal Reserve to be more cautious in future rate decisions. The weakness in ADP employment data further confirms the slowdown in economic growth, raising market expectations for a rate cut and reflecting investors' concerns about the economic outlook. Overall, this data will prompt the Federal Reserve to reassess its monetary policy, potentially accelerating the pace of rate cuts. -Original
