According to BlockBeats, the United States is set to release its August non-farm employment data this Friday. Economists compiled by Bloomberg predict that the number of new jobs will range between 100,000 and 208,000, with a median estimate of 163,000. The unemployment rate is expected to gradually decrease to 4.2%. As economic growth remains the primary focus of the market, these figures could significantly impact market sentiment.
Previously, the non-farm employment data for July led to a widespread decline in the capital markets at the beginning of August. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, speaking at the annual central bank meeting in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, stated that the future policy direction is clear. However, he emphasized that the timing and pace of interest rate cuts will depend on new data, evolving outlooks, and the balance of risks.
