Key Takeaways:

  • U.S. added 206,000 jobs in June, surpassing expectations.
  • Unemployment rose to 4.1%, the highest since November 2021.
  • Fed may consider rate cuts as labor market shows signs of cooling.

What Happened?

The U.S. economy added 206,000 jobs in June, surpassing the 190,000 forecast by economists polled by Reuters. However, the unemployment rate increased to 4.1%, the highest since November 2021. Revisions to April and May job data showed employment was 111,000 lower than initially reported, with May’s figures revised down to 218,000 from 272,000 and April’s to 108,000 from 165,000.

Average hourly earnings rose 3.9% year-over-year, the slowest growth in three years. Treasury yields fell to their lowest levels in months, and the S&P 500 advanced 0.5%, marking its third consecutive record high close.

Why It Matters?

You should pay attention to these mixed signals from the labor market. While job additions exceeded expectations, the rise in unemployment and downward revisions to previous months indicate a potential cooling trend. This has significant implications for the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy.

The Fed has been cautious about lowering borrowing costs, but with price pressures easing and employment conditions softening, rate cuts could be on the horizon. Robert Tipp from PGIM Fixed Income noted that these numbers could spur discussions at the Fed about whether current rates are too restrictive and threaten economic expansion.

What’s Next?

Investors should watch for the Federal Reserve’s next moves closely. Traders are already pricing in two rate cuts this year, possibly in September or November. The central bank’s decisions will depend heavily on upcoming labor market data and inflation trends.

As Eric Winograd from AllianceBernstein pointed out, despite weaker-than-expected job reports due to downward revisions, the labor market isn’t “falling off a cliff.” This suggests the Fed might proceed cautiously, balancing the need to support the economy without triggering runaway inflation.
