#非农就业数据即将公布 : US August Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP)

Let's review that the US July non-farm payrolls data was unexpectedly cold and the unemployment rate rebounded to 4.3%, reaching the highest level since 2021. The data triggered the S&P 500 (US500) to record the third largest single-day drop so far this year. The index fell 1.8% on August 2, and then fell 3% on the next Monday (August 5), setting the largest single-day drop of the year.

The unemployment rate has once again become the focus of the market. If the unemployment rate remains at a high level of 4.3% in August or rises to a higher level, it may trigger a new round of stock market sell-offs, pushing the US500 index back to the 5500 line; if the unemployment rate falls back to 4.2% as expected, the US500 index is expected to continue its upward trend and set a new record high!
