The strength of the labor market casts doubt over whether the Federal Reserve might cut rates of interest quicker instead of later on.
“On the basis of today’s jobs report, there is absolutely no sign of a softening labour market or weakening wage pressures. It wasn’t just a strong January, it turns out that previous months were stronger than initially believed,” stated Seema Shah, primary international strategist at Principal Asset Management.
“Throw in the sharp move higher in average hourly earnings and Fed officials must be wondering if their rate hikes have had any impact on the economy. The dramatic upside surprise to both jobs and wage growth means that a March rate cut must be off the table now, and a May cut is also now potentially on ice.”
