The latest nonfarm payrolls report changed the Fed debate.
August payrolls increased by 162,000, far above expectations near 55,000, while the unemployment rate held at 4.1%.
Hiring was also relatively broad-based, suggesting that the labor market may still be strong enough to withstand restrictive policy. As a result, market expectations for a September rate hike have risen to around 60%.
Now CPI is the decisive test. If core inflation remains sticky or accelerates, the Fed could view strong employment and persistent price pressure as reasons to raise rates by 25 basis points.
My base case is slightly hawkish: a hike is more likely than a hold if CPI surprises to the upside.
My short-term view is bearish for high-growth stocks, since higher yields can pressure expensive valuations.
I’m more constructive on defensive sectors and selective financial stocks. For gold, I expect volatility: a hot CPI could push $XAU lower initially through a stronger dollar and higher yields, while a softer CPI could quickly revive the bullish trade.
I would avoid chasing either move before the data and prefer smaller, disciplined positions with clear risk limits.

牛来 Keep this pair on your watchlist, but remember that increased volatility can lead to rapid price movements in either direction.
A lot of Square KOLs are now adding their 365-day PNL to posts after seeing me do it and honestly, some of those numbers are shocking. 😂
It exposes something people often overlook: posting 50-100 times a day doesn't make someone a profitable trader.
Some of you are paying for monthly subscriptions because you think these “mentors” are trading gods. Before trusting anyone with your money, ask them one simple question:
“Show me your verified 365-day PNL.”
Binance Square actually gives traders plenty of ways to prove their track record - live trade data, running trades, daily/weekly/yearly PNL, copy trading, and more.
If someone constantly posts signals but refuses to show verifiable performance, that's a red flag.
Your money should come from your trading , not from blindly paying someone else for the privilege of following theirs.
Do your own research. Verify the track record. Stay safe, folks.
After spending so much time respecting the same rising trendline on the weekly chart, price is finally breaking out to the upside with strong momentum.
