I remember that at the beginning of January, data on non-farm payrolls for December was released, and it caused quite an interesting reaction in the market. The employment report outside agriculture was published on the 9th at 21:30 UTC+8, and as usual, all traders were on edge before this release.

In fact, such non-farm payroll reports always influence expectations regarding inflation and monetary policy. I noticed that market participants were very closely monitoring every signal from this data — even small deviations from the forecast could shift asset prices. The state of the labor market in the U.S. always remains one of the key factors driving cryptocurrencies and traditional assets.

Ultimately, these non-farm employment reports remain an important indicator for understanding where monetary policy might head. It's worth keeping an eye on such data if you want to predict the Fed's next move.
