US JOBS DATA JUST EXPLODED. MARKETS SHOCKED.
This is not a drill. The US jobs report just dropped, and it's a massive outlier. Unemployment fell to 4.3%. The economy added 130,000 jobs, the highest since April 2025. Private sector jobs surged 172,000, a one-year peak. This report is incredibly bullish for the economy.
What does this mean? A strong labor market signals resilience. Recession fears are fading. The Fed is not pressured to cut rates soon. March rate cuts are off the table. Expect USD strength and rising bond yields. Crypto and stocks face volatility from shifting rate expectations. The market braced for bad news to get rate cuts. Instead, they got good news forcing a hawkish Fed. Expect more short-term turbulence.
