Weak employment data, is the Federal Reserve set to cut rates next week?
The latest job vacancy data released on Wednesday shows that employment positions have fallen to a rare level since the COVID-19 pandemic, intensifying concerns about the economy. This makes the upcoming August employment report, set to be released on Friday, even more closely watched, as it will be the next major test for the stock market.
According to the median of a Bloomberg survey, economists expect about 75,000 new jobs to be added in August, with an unemployment rate forecasted at 4.3%. The increase in employment numbers has been below 100,000 for four consecutive months, marking the weakest growth since the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020.
The weak job vacancy report further strengthens the possibility of a rate cut by The Federal Reserve (FED) in September, according to strategists at TD Securities:
"If there is a significant downside surprise in the labor market data, it could lead to a substantial decrease in interest rates. We still prefer to buy on dips and expect interest rates to continue to decline throughout the year."
According to the CME FedWatch Index, traders are almost certain that the Federal Reserve (FED) will cut rates by 25 basis points next week on (, and will lower the federal funds rate to a range of 3.75% to 4% by the end of the year.
