Analysis
The US December nonfarm payrolls report was released, showing an increase of 256,000 jobs, far exceeding the expected 160,000. The unemployment rate also fell to 4.1%, lower than the expected 4.2%. This data indicates that the US job market remains strong, with businesses continuing to hire even as the Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rates. This could mean that the Fed will continue to raise rates to control inflation, as a strong job market could lead to wage increases, further pushing up inflation. However, some analysts believe that this data may be a short-term phenomenon, and the job market may slow down in the coming months. Ultimately, the Fed's decision will depend on the data performance in the coming months and the trend of inflation.
