US Adds 115K Jobs: A Resilient Economy or Hawkish Fed?
The U.S. labor market just delivered a major surprise, adding 115,000 jobs in April—nearly double the 62,000 forecast. While this signals a robust and resilient economy, it has also pushed the odds of a 2026 rate hike to 20.8%.
Despite the "higher-for-longer" narrative, Bitcoin is holding strong above $80,000, outperforming gold as the preferred "debasement hedge". Institutional demand remains relentless, with Bitcoin ETFs seeing over $1.25 billion in net inflows this month alone. The market is cooling slightly from March, but the macro trend for risk assets remains surprisingly constructive.
