CoinWorld news: The employment report released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Thursday showed that nonfarm payrolls increased by 57k in June, less than half of economists' expectations. May's employment growth data was also revised down from 172k to 129k. Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management, said the slowdown in job growth challenges expectations of a labor market recovery and reinforces the view that the Federal Reserve faces little pressure to tighten policy. Currently, short-term interest rate futures traders see the probability of a July rate hike falling below 20%, but the likelihood of a September rate hike remains relatively high.

Seema Shah put it euphemistically, but the truth is the Fed has no tightening pressure anymore.

Nonfarm payrolls come in with a surprise shock— the odds of a July rate hike have now dropped to below 20%. Is the market about to go wild all over again?

June only added 57k, less than half of expectations, and the recession narrative is about to resurface.

Is the possibility of a September rate hike still high? Let the market enjoy the summer first.

The May data was also revised downward; the job market is a bit inflated.
