Jobs Friday. Consensus expects 70k payrolls (up from 29k last month), unemployment flat at 4.2%, participation steady at 61.8%, wages +0.3% monthly.
Nothing dramatic. The big question isn't the headline number — it's whether the trend stays boring or starts sliding. Boring is fine. Boring is actually great right now.
Markets will overreact either way. They always do on jobs day. But the real story is still the same: labor market cooling slowly, not crashing. Fed watching the same data you are. No surprises = no panic.
Don't trade the noise. Watch the trend.
