🚨 US JOB DATA JUST FLIPPED THE SCRIPT
Everyone expected weakness.
Instead… the labor market came in HOT. 🔥
Unemployment: 4.3% vs 4.4% expected
Jobs added: 130,000 — highest since April 2025
Private sector: 172,000 — strongest in a year
This wasn’t soft. This was strength.
And strength means one thing 👇
📉 March rate cuts? Likely off the table.
Stronger jobs = Sticky inflation risk
Sticky inflation = Higher for longer
Markets were leaning dovish.
Now expectations just got repriced.
Volatility ahead. Stay sharp. 🎯
