📊 JANUARY JOBS SHOCKER: U.S. Economy Opens 2026 With a Surprise Boost

The first labor report of the year just flipped expectations on their head. The U.S. added 130,000 new jobs in January—almost 2x what analysts projected—while unemployment eased to 4.3%. Momentum is clearly building.

Amid the strong data, President Trump is pushing for the “lowest interest rates globally,” arguing cheaper borrowing could dramatically cut debt servicing costs—potentially saving up to $1 trillion annually.

Markets now face a big question: Will strong jobs delay rate cuts—or strengthen the case for strategic easing?
