Jobs report came in stronger than expected on every metric.
This matters for two reasons:
1. The Fed's been looking for any excuse to pause rate cuts. Strong labor data gives them cover.
2. Market's been pricing in a soft landing. This confirms it's still on track — economy's not rolling over.
Don't overthink it. Strong jobs = resilient economy. That's good for risk assets, less good for your hope of cheaper borrowing costs anytime soon.
The playbook hasn't changed: stay invested, ignore the noise, let the data do the talking.
