September Rate Hike Odds Plunge to 44% After July Jobs Miss
Question
September Rate Hike Odds Plunge to 44% After July Jobs Miss
Direct answer
The July employment report provided a significant surprise with a net loss of 23,000 jobs, a sharp contrast to the growth anticipated by consensus. This has immediately impacted the CME FedWatch-implied probabilities for the September meeting. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is now perceived to be in a difficult position, balancing the risk of a broader economic slowdown against remaining price pressures. The shift suggests a potential move toward a neutral or easing stance if labor data does not recover. — bearish pressure on DGS10.
