After the release of non farm payroll data, Trump once again shouted: tariffs bring billions of dollars in revenue, the Federal Reserve should cut interest rates, what happened? Let's take a look together.
On May 2nd, data released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that non-agricultural employment in the United States increased by 177000 in April, slightly lower than the downward revised 185000 in March, but higher than Dow Jones' estimate of 133000.
However, the unemployment rate remained at 4.2% as expected, indicating a relatively stable labor market. The household survey used to calculate the unemployment rate shows that the number of employed people has grown even stronger, with an increase of 436000 in the number of reported jobs for the month.
This non farm payroll data is particularly crucial for adjusting the Federal Reserve's monetary policy expectations,
Before the data was released, the probability of traders betting on a rate cut in June was about 60%, but it quickly dropped to around 50% after the data was released, and the expected number of rate cuts this year was also lowered from four to nearly three.
After the release of non farm payroll data, US President Trump once again shouted that the Federal Reserve should cut interest rates. Trump tweeted, "Gasoline prices have just fallen below $1.98 per gallon, the lowest in years, grocery (and egg!) prices are down, energy prices are down, mortgage rates are down, employment is strong, and there's more good news as billions of dollars flood in from tariffs. As I said, we're just in the transition phase, just beginning, consumers have been waiting for years to see prices fall. (We) don't have inflation, the Federal Reserve should lower interest rates.
