About FedHawksVsWeakJobs

U.S. private payrolls rose just 44,000 in July, below the 75,000 forecast and the weakest gain in six months, signaling a cooler labor market. Yet the ADP miss has not resolved the Fed debate. Governor Cook said she is prepared to act if inflation does not resume cooling. MarketWatch put the odds of a 25 bp September hike at ~56.9%. For crypto, the key question is whether weaker jobs can outweigh inflation pressure, with Friday's payrolls and next week's CPI set to reshape September pricing.
