CoinWorld News reports that in May, the number of new jobs added by U.S. companies was the highest since January 2025, indicating that despite rising energy costs due to the Iran war, the labor market may still be accelerating. ADP data supports the view that after months of uneven hiring, the labor market may be gradually improving, with job openings increasing and layoffs remaining at low levels. If this trend is confirmed by official government data, it could lead people to speculate that in the coming months, the Federal Reserve is more likely to raise interest rates rather than cut them.

Iran war risk premium has not yet fully reflected in the data; next month will be even more critical.

Let's wait for the CPI to come out and see the fight; employment and inflation are currently moving in opposite directions.

Job openings increase + layoffs decrease, this combination indeed seems like a sign of overheating.
