Non-farm employment data "turns the tide" on Federal Reserve policy expectations? Analysts explain the market key before January 28

【BitPush】Market analyst Chris Anstey’s latest insights are worth paying attention to. He believes that today’s non-farm payroll report is highly significant for the Federal Reserve decision-makers — although the next interest rate decision will not be until January 28 (by which time the Fed will have the complete data for December), the report’s influence cannot be ignored.

The key point here is: the data results are very likely to rewrite the market’s assessment of last week’s rate cut decision. The internal voting within the Federal Reserve last week was already clearly divided, with inconsistent attitudes.

If today’s employment data is weak, the previous rate cut move will seem prescient. Conversely, if the job market shows steady growth, the stance of Fed officials advocating for maintaining high interest rates and pausing rate cuts will be significantly reinforced. In other words, the market’s expectations for the Fed’s policy direction over the next month could undergo a 180-degree reversal.
