March jobs data just dropped, and it's a big beat. The U.S. added 178,000 jobs, far above the 60,000 expected. February's loss was also revised deeper to 133,000. Unemployment fell to 4.3%, better than the 4.4% forecast.
Bitcoin stayed calm around $67,000 after the news. Stock futures dipped slightly, and the 10-year Treasury yield jumped to 4.36%. The Fed's stance on oil-driven inflation still matters more than jobs right now, but this strong print could reopen the door to rate hikes in 2026.
