Read the full assessment
US nonfarm payrolls significantly exceeded expectations in October, with growth reported between 165,000 and over 65,000, and the unemployment rate holding at 4.1-4.2%. This confirmed resilience in the labor market is strengthening the case for a Federal Reserve rate hike in December, reducing the likelihood of near-term easing. Key uncertainties remain regarding the exact magnitude of any future hike and the Fed's subsequent policy trajectory.
