Annex Wealth Management chief economic strategist Brian Jacobsen noted that the U.S. labor market is not as strong as initially thought. July’s jobs data was revised to show negative growth; August saw a solid rebound, but that momentum abruptly halted in September, with only 29,000 jobs added. The employment diffusion index fell back below 50. Fed Chair Waller had previously expressed concern about the breadth of inflation, but now he will have to consider the lack of breadth in the labor market.

Non-farm payroll data further reinforced the view that momentum in the U.S. labor market is cooling. According to the CME Group’s FedWatch Tool, traders currently assign an 83% probability that the Federal Reserve will hold interest rates steady at its October meeting, up from 72% before the jobs report was released; the probability of a rate hike has fallen from 28% to 17%. Rate hike expectations have also cooled. Current federal funds futures pricing shows the market expects the Fed to deliver a cumulative total of around 22.2 basis points of additional rate hikes by the end of 2026, down from 25.5 basis points before the data release.
