  1. US Jobs Report for August

  3. Federal Reserve Interest Rate Prospects


    4. The latest US jobs report for August fell short of expectations, drawing attention from economists and investors. While the unemployment rate slightly decreased, the number of new jobs was below the forecast.

    US Jobs Report for August

    The US Department of Labor announced the addition of 142,000 new jobs in August, which was below the anticipated 160,000. Data from July and June brought the three-month average down to 86,000, significantly lower compared to 202,000 in the same period last year.

    Bitcoin's Reaction

    Bitcoin's price reacted swiftly to the report, jumping from $55,500 to $57,000 within minutes. However, it has yet to sustain that level.

    Federal Reserve Interest Rate Prospects

    The US jobs report and the reduction in the unemployment rate to 4.2% suggest that the Federal Reserve is likely to cut interest rates in September. The expected cut is 25 basis points.

    The latest US jobs report has confirmed expectations regarding potential actions by the Federal Reserve to reduce interest rates. At the same time, Bitcoin's reaction to this information demonstrates its sensitivity to economic news from the world's largest economy.
