Odaily Planet Daily News: The Federal Reserve has not yet announced victory in its fight against inflation, but policymakers have shifted some attention to the maximum employment aspect of their dual mandate. Citigroup economist Veronica Clark stated in a recent report, "October's non-farm data will be an important confirmation or denial of the strength of September's data, but it may not be enough to shift market attention back to the risk of a U.S. economic recession." However, October's data will reflect the impact of the ongoing Boeing strike and hurricanes. Clark estimates that these factors will reduce employment numbers by 70,000 to 80,000. Citigroup's outlook on non-farm employment data is more moderate than the general expectation, forecasting an increase of 90,000 jobs and a slight rise in the unemployment rate to 4.23%. Additionally, Citigroup noted that any downward revision to September's data could be more significant than usual. (Jin Shi)
