ChainCatcher news, "Fed Mouthpiece" NickTimiraos' latest article said that the U.S. August employment report, scheduled for release on Friday, will play a greater role than usual in determining the extent of the Fed's interest rate cut this month.

At the Fed's September meeting, the focus of the debate is whether to start cutting interest rates by 25 or 50 basis points to prevent unwanted weakness in the job market. The August recruitment and employment reports will be key to this decision. A decent employment report may prompt officials to start a possible series of rate cuts with a 25 basis point cut. If recruitment is weak or unemployment rises, as in July, a larger rate cut will be imminent. (Jinshi)
