Give me 2 minutes — this is important for the market 👇

U.S. Unemployment Rate came at 4.6%
Expected was 4.5%

It looks like a small difference, but the signal is big.

This shows the job market is getting weaker.
In the short term, this is negative for the market because a weak job market means slower economic growth.

At the same time, weaker jobs increase the chances of future interest rate cuts.
So yes — it’s mixed.

Now the real focus is on CPI (Inflation data) this Thursday.

• If CPI comes lower than expected → Market can bounce, risk assets may pump
• If CPI comes higher than expected → Market can dump hard

Why? Because the Fed will be stuck: They can’t control high inflation and support a weakening job market at the same time.

High inflation + rising unemployment = worst combination

If CPI is hot, expect high volatility and possible sharp downside.

Stay alert.
Manage risk.
This is not the time to overtrade.
