Weak Jobs, Strong Markets The US labor market just delivered a major downside surprise. September payrolls increased by only 29K, versus roughly 90K expected. Unemployment rose to 4.2%, while wage growth slowed to +0.1% MoM / +3.0% YoY. Markets liked it. S&P 500 +0.73% Nasdaq +1.19% Dow Jones +0.49% Why? Weak employment reduces the pressure on the Fed to raise rates again in October. But there is a catch. Treasury yields are still extremely high The US 10Y initially fell after the jobs report then reversed and finished around 5.28%. So we have an unusual setup: Jobs ↓ → Fed pressure ↓ → Risk assets ↑ But: Oil > $100 + inflation risk → Long yields stay high That second part matters for both Tech and Crypto. Crypto #Bitcoin briefly pushed toward $87K, but failed to hold the move and returned to around $84.6K. ETH is around $2.68K. Bitget has also completed its phased withdrawal restoration, including remaining tokens, fiat and P2P, following the September security incident. Oil remains the wildcard Brent finished around $102.25. China has restricted October fuel exports, while countries are releasing additional reserves to ease pressure on refined-product markets. Energy remains one of the biggest risks to the disinflation story. Bottom line The labor market is finally cooling. But the bond market isn't fully buying the bullish story yet. $BTC ≈ $84.6K US 10Y ≈ 5.28% Brent ≈ $102 For risk assets, the next major signal is simple: Can Treasury yields finally follow the labor market lower?
