Doginal Dogs: Majors Steady After BLS August Print Boosts September Rate Odds
The August jobs report landed hotter than expected and pushed CME FedWatch September hike odds to 58 percent. Majors showed mixed candles while the community stayed locked on the data.
Jobs Data Hits the Calendar
August payrolls landed at 162,000 against an expected 53,000. Unemployment sat at 4.1 percent with prior months revised higher. CME FedWatch September 15-16 hike odds moved to 58 percent from 49.4 percent. The weekend now sits with that single number driving rate expectations.
Bark (Christian Barker) and Shibo (David Chaboki) keep the Doginal Dogs Saturday Space on the BLS beat so the hike odds stay the focus instead of any ETF split noise. The room stays on the data and the charts.
