June NFP Data Released, Bitcoin Surges to $62,000

The US labor report for June 2026 recorded a significant slowdown, with Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) increasing by only 57,000, far below the market expectation of 115,000. Data from the previous two months were also revised downward, to 129,000 for May and 148,000 for April, respectively. Although the unemployment rate improved to 4.2% with annual wage growth of 3.52%, the overall slowdown in hiring signals that the US economy is beginning to cool.
Bitcoin responded to the below-expectation data with a price increase, reaching the $62,000 level. The same occurred with gold, which showed a bullish trend, with prices now rising from the $4,050 level and climbing to $4,100. This rise is driven by market expectations that weakening labor data could trigger monetary policy easing by the central bank, which historically acts as a catalyst for the price movement of safe-haven assets.
