U.S. nonfarm payrolls have surpassed expectations, leading to a shift in market sentiment regarding Federal Reserve rate cuts. The stronger-than-anticipated jobs data has pressured the U.S. bond market, with traders reducing their bets on rate cuts this year. The two-year Treasury yield increased by 6 basis points to approximately 3.51%.
The money market now anticipates the Fed's next rate cut to occur in July, a month later than previously expected. While U.S. stocks closed flat, Asian equity futures showed mixed reactions, with Japan's market expected to rise and Australia's benchmark index contract declining. The robust U.S. economic performance is currently balancing market desires for lower borrowing costs, maintaining risk sentiment. Bret Kenwell of eToro highlighted that a stabilizing labor market could be beneficial for both the economy and markets.
