The May jobs report surprised investors with the addition of 272,000 jobs to the US economy, surpassing expectations. However, the unemployment rate rose to 4%, and wages increased by 4.1%, raising concerns about inflation. This unexpected data has led to doubts about the possibility of rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, causing a sell-off in government debt and a strengthening of the US Dollar Index. Small business owners are preparing for potential rate hikes and stagflation. The strong labor market has shifted market sentiment and prompted a reassessment of economic outlook and monetary policy. #jobsreport #economy #inflation #FederalReserve #interestrates...
