[U.S. unemployment rate in August]
Announced: 4.2%
Expected: 4.2%
Previous value: 4.3%
Similar to expectations, with little impact.
[U.S. seasonally adjusted non-farm payrolls in August]
Announced: 14.2
Expected: 16
Previous value: 11.4
Lower than expected, good news.
One in line with expectations tonight, a small positive.
The rate cut is a foregone conclusion, and the probability of a 50 basis point cut is relatively small at the moment.
Hold on, don't cut at the bottom.
