Core Viewpoint - The Federal Reserve is signaling a potential interest rate cut due to a weakening labor market and persistent inflation pressures, leading to a consensus in the market for a rate reduction [1][2][3]. Group 1: Economic Indicators - The core PCE inflation rate in June was 2.8%, indicating persistent inflation challenges [1]. - The July non-farm payroll report showed only 73,000 new jobs, significantly below the expected 110,000, with the unemployment rate rising to 4.2% [4]. - Revisions to previous months' job data revealed a total downward adjustment of 258,000 jobs, raising concerns about the labor market's health [4][5]. Group 2: Federal Reserve's Stance - Federal Reserve officials, including Bowman and Waller, have publicly supported a more proactive approach to rate cuts, citing the need to address a weakening job market [2][6]. - The probability of a rate cut in September has surged from 37% to over 75%, with some institutions predicting a cut of up to 50 basis points if unemployment rises [2][6]. Group 3: Market Reactions - The market has shifted from a wait-and-see approach to betting on rate cuts, with a consensus forming around the likelihood of a reduction [3][6]. - Major financial institutions like Goldman Sachs and Citigroup anticipate multiple rate cuts, potentially lowering the federal funds rate to a range of 3% to 3.25% [6]. Group 4: Implications for Domestic Markets - A potential rate cut by the Federal Reserve could provide some monetary policy flexibility for domestic markets, particularly in China, where the current interest rate differential with the U.S. is significant [8][10]. - The anticipated easing of U.S. monetary policy may enhance liquidity in global markets, potentially benefiting domestic capital markets [8][10].

Core Viewpoint - A 30% probability of a U.S. economic recession may seem alarming, but global stock markets remain resilient due to current market momentum, making short-selling appear illogical [1] Group 1 - The market is unable to see far enough into the future, which is why it tends to overlook recession risks [1] - Investors may be ignoring the potential slowdown in the labor market, focusing instead on strong liquidity and structural growth themes such as artificial intelligence and fiscal credit expansion [1]

Group 1 - Goldman Sachs issued a warning regarding significant downward revisions to U.S. employment data, with a total adjustment of 258,000 jobs for May and June, marking the largest two-month revision since 1968 outside of recession periods [1] - The downward revisions were evenly distributed between the public and private sectors, indicating a broader impact on the labor market [1] - Goldman Sachs anticipates further downward adjustments, predicting a potential reduction of 550,000 to 950,000 jobs in the upcoming non-farm employment benchmark revision, which could lower monthly job growth estimates for 2024-2025 from 145,000 to a range of 65,000-100,000 [1] Group 2 - Tom Lee from Fundstrat highlighted that the magnitude of the employment data revisions indicates a significant deviation from the Federal Reserve's dual mandate of employment and inflation, suggesting a more severe labor market issue than previously recognized [2] - Lee predicts an imminent shift in Federal Reserve policy, which could lead to higher price-to-earnings ratios as lower interest rates enhance investor interest in risk assets [2] - Following the release of disappointing July non-farm employment data, market expectations for two interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve by the end of December have intensified [2]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The downward revision of non - farm data from May to June may accelerate the Fed's interest - rate cut rhythm. As of now, the probability of a "compensatory" rate cut by the Fed in September is limited, and the focus is on trading rate cuts rather than recession. The non - farm data may impact the data - based investment research and analysis system, and the value of gold may be further highlighted [1]. - The Fed's action may be too late. After the release of non - farm data, the market's expectation of a 25BP rate cut by the Fed in September soared from 37.66% to 80.31%, and it fully priced in at least one 25BP rate cut by the Fed before October [2]. - Based on current data, it may not be sufficient to drive the Fed to conduct a "compensatory" rate cut. If the labor market deteriorates further in August and inflation rebounds moderately or declines again, the Fed may make a more accommodative monetary policy decision [3]. - The data - based investment research and analysis system will be continuously impacted. In the short term, ADP employment data may serve as a substitute for non - farm data. In the long term, the issue of data credibility may ferment, affecting the pricing of financial assets, while the value of gold may be further emphasized [4]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1 Analyzing the Underlying Logic of the Significant Downward Revision of Non - farm Data - **July Non - farm Data**: In July, the US added 73,000 non - farm jobs, lower than market expectations. The unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, indicating a marginal cooling of the labor market but still with some resilience [11]. - **Downward Revision of May - June Non - farm Data**: The total non - farm employment in May and June was revised down by 258,000. The adjustment rates in May and June reached 86.33% and 90.48% respectively, the largest since 2021. Both the private and government sectors showed a general decline [14][15]. - **Impact on the Fed's Decision - making**: From May to July, the average monthly increase in non - farm employment was only about 35,000. If the Fed had seen the revised data before the meeting, more officials might have supported a rate cut in July. After the data release, the market's expectation of a Fed rate cut increased significantly [21]. - **"Compensatory" Rate Cut**: The current situation is similar to that in the third quarter of 2024 in that the weakening labor market boosts rate - cut expectations. However, the current inflation environment may restrict the Fed's rate - cut decision. As of now, it may not be enough to trigger a "compensatory" rate cut, but there is a potential path [25][27]. - **Trading Focus**: After the non - farm data release, the stock market adjusted significantly. The US economy shows a marginal weakening of growth momentum rather than an impending recession [31][35]. - **Impact on the Investment Research System**: In the short term, ADP employment data may gain more attention. In the long term, the credibility of non - farm data may be questioned, adding uncertainty to the financial market, while the value of gold may increase [35][37].
