The slower jobs growth reported Friday by the US Labor Department “has further cemented expectations that the has reached peak interest rates,” said market analyst Fawad Razaqzada at City Index and FOREX.com. “It seems silly to cheer weakening activity in the labor market, but the key takeaway from this report is that it resonates as a ‘soft landing report’ that will keep the Fed from raising the fed funds rate again,” said Briefing.com’s Patrick O’Hare.“Yet the market is embracing the thought that this employment data could mean the Fed is at least a step closer to starting to think about cutting rates,” O’Hare added.
