The market is so quiet! Quiet enough that many people have forgotten about tonight's NFP data! Based on ADP and yesterday's initial jobless claims, tonight's non-farm payrolls are basically expected to be bearish! The wildcard lies in the unemployment rate. In the long run, maintaining a 4.4% unemployment rate is the best outcome. While an increase in unemployment could help fuel rate cut expectations, the current environment is influenced by the Middle East situation driving oil prices higher—different times, different dynamics! If the unemployment rate rises, it would confirm stagflation and recession expectations, which is bad news for the stock market and risk assets. If the unemployment rate drops, it would show resilience in the job market, making rate cuts much less likely. So, keeping it at 4.4% is the optimal choice #NFP #NonFarm #USJobs #Crypto #Bitcoin
