Just saw the U.S. February jobs report came out last night. The unemployment rate landed at 4.3% as most people expected, pretty much in line with forecasts. But the non farm payroll numbers were the real wildcard here. Predictions were all over the place on that one, ranging from losing 9k jobs to adding 125k, with Reuters calling for around 59k increase. That's a pretty wide spread when you think about it. The non farm payroll data always matters for the markets, so traders were definitely watching closely. Curious to see how this plays out for the Fed's next move on rates.
