PANews reported on November 20th that, according to Jinshi News, the US September non-farm payroll report indicated an unexpected rebound in the US labor market, which will complicate the Federal Reserve's decision on whether to cut interest rates next month. The report, released Thursday, showed an increase of 119,000 non-farm payroll jobs in September, exceeding not only the 50,000 predicted by economists surveyed by institutions but also significantly higher than the revised 22,000 in August. The unemployment rate rose to 4.4% from 4.3% in August, a new high since 2021. This report is the first economic health indicator released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics since the record-breaking shutdown of the US federal government led to a halt in official data releases. The unexpectedly positive data will reinforce the stance of hawkish members of the Federal Open Market Committee, who have consistently warned the Fed against cutting interest rates too quickly. Following the data release, US Treasury yields and the dollar index both fell. Despite President Trump's long-term pressure on the Fed to cut interest rates, a deep division has emerged within the central bank: one faction advocates for continued rate cuts at the December meeting to support the labor market, while the other is concerned about the potential for increased inflation risks. The government shutdown has exacerbated the Federal Reserve's decision-making difficulties—the release of regular economic reports has been interrupted, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced on Wednesday that due to the stagnation of data collection during the shutdown, it will no longer release a separate October employment report, with some data being combined into the November report.PANews reported on November 20th that, according to Jinshi News, the US September non-farm payroll report indicated an unexpected rebound in the US labor market, which will complicate the Federal Reserve's decision on whether to cut interest rates next month.
