Friday's U.S. Jobs Report Could Steer Fed Rate-Path Expectations
Dow Jones14:02
0602 GMT - A stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report on Friday "might actually be temporary bad news for markets as it could reinforce the need for another rate hike this year," Russell Investments' BeiChen Lin says in a note. If job creation ends up being in-line with or a touch softer than consensus expectations, it would still show a resilient U.S. economy, but would likely cause the market to dial back some of the aggressive Fed pricing, the senior investment strategist says. It is important for investors to remember that many of the key inflation drivers in 2022 are not present today and this limits how forceful the Fed needs to be with rate hikes, Lin says.
