The US non-farm payroll report for December will be released tonight at 21:30, with an expected increase of 160,000 jobs, which is lower than November's 227,000, but roughly in line with the four-month average. The unemployment rate is still expected to remain controllably stable at 4.2%. However, some Wall Street analysts predict that due to seasonal trends and other factors, the data may be weaker, casting a shadow over the Federal Reserve's prospects for interest rate cuts in the new year, and raising concerns about potential market volatility due to data exceeding expectations.
