Activity in the US: A Day Full of Data

Today, US labor market data, Fed’s monetary policy report and Powell and Trump’s speeches will be in the focus of investors. The data to be released and the messages of the officials may create significant movement in the markets.

US Labor Force Data Announced

🔹 16:30 – US Unemployment Rate (Expected: 4.0%, Previous: 4.0%)

🔹 16:30 – Average Hourly Earnings (Monthly) (Expected: 0.3%, Previous: 0.5%)

🔹 16:30 – Non-Farm Payrolls (Expectation: 159K, Previous: 216K)

These data will be critical to assess the health of the US labor market and inflation pressures. In particular, lower-than-expected non-farm payrolls data may be seen as a signal of economic slowdown. However, low average hourly earnings could put pressure on the Fed to review its interest rate policy.

In the past, such data has created high volatility in the markets and shaped the Fed’s monetary policy. The figures to be released today will be especially decisive for the dollar, stocks and crypto markets.

FED and Trump’s Statements May Affect Markets

🔹 19:00 – Fed Monetary Policy Report to be Published

🔹 20:30 – Fed Chair Jerome Powell to Speak

🔹 21:30 – US President Donald Trump to Make a Statement

The Fed’s monetary policy report and Powell’s statements will carry clues about interest rates. Powell’s hawkish (tightening) or dovish (easing) stance may cause sudden movements in the markets.

Trump’s statements will shape expectations regarding economic policies. In particular, his messages on crypto markets and global trade policies will be on investors’ radar.

In recent months, the Fed’s interest rate hikes and anti-inflation policies have caused major fluctuations in financial markets. Today’s announcements could play a critical role in determining the direction of the US economy.

In summary, the economic data and leaders’ speeches that will be released throughout the day may create volatility in a wide range of markets, from cryptocurrencies to traditional markets. Bitcoin and altcoin markets in particular may be sensitive to interest rate policies and Trump’s economic messages.
