ATFX汇评：9月非农大超预期，12月美联储降息概率骤降

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. non-farm payroll report for September exceeded expectations, with an increase of 119,000 jobs, significantly higher than the market forecast of 50,000 and the previous value of 22,000. However, the market's reaction to this data was relatively muted, as indicated by the minor fluctuations in the U.S. dollar index and precious metals [1][3]. Group 1: Employment Data Analysis - The September non-farm payroll increase of 119,000 jobs, while higher than previous values and expectations, remains low compared to earlier months, such as May when the increase was 323,000 jobs, approximately three times the September figure [3]. - The employment market showed improvement in September compared to the previous months of May to August, but it still appears weak when compared to earlier periods [3]. - The positive non-farm data has led to a decrease in the probability of a Federal Reserve rate cut in December, dropping to 40% from over 90% a month prior, according to CME Group's FedWatch data [3]. Group 2: Future Employment Reports - The upcoming non-farm payroll reports for October and November are uncertain due to the government shutdown, which affected data collection for October and may impact the November report as well [3]. - The potential delay in the release of the November non-farm payroll report is anticipated, as the first Friday of December may not see timely publication due to data collection issues [3]. Group 3: Market Reactions - Despite the strong non-farm employment report, the market's response was subdued, with the U.S. dollar index showing a volatility of only 0.09% and gold and silver fluctuating by 0.15% and 0.98%, respectively [1]. - The dollar index had already shown a bullish trend prior to the data release, suggesting that some investors may have positioned themselves in advance [1].
