The market fell after the release of non-farm data

Data source: investing.com

After the release of the US non-farm data for August, the market reaction was mixed, neither fully meeting optimistic expectations nor pessimistic forecasts. The unemployment rate dropped from 4.3% to 4.2%, in line with expectations, eliminating the recession signal released by the "Sam Rule". However, the number of new jobs in August was only 142,000, lower than the expected 165,000, and the previous value was significantly revised down, further showing signs of a slowdown in the labor market.

Market funds were in a state of entanglement, and pessimism once pushed the probability of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by 50 basis points in September from 40% to 50%, which was the same as the expectation of a 25 basis point cut. Subsequently, the market began to re-evaluate the speeches of Federal Reserve officials.

Fed Governor Waller made dovish remarks, saying that if appropriate, he would advocate for a pre-emptive rate cut and did not rule out the possibility of a substantial rate cut. FOMC permanent voting member and New York Fed President Williams, known as the "third person in charge of the Federal Reserve," believed that it was appropriate to cut interest rates at this time, but did not explicitly support a 50 basis point rate cut.

After the data was released, Bitcoin rose slightly from $56,000 to $57,000, but then began to fall, falling to a low of about $52,500. The overall digital currency market fell accordingly, showing a clear state of pressure.

There are about 12 days until the next Federal Reserve interest rate meeting (2024.09.19)
