🚨 EMPLOYMENT HIT IN THE U.S.: OCTOBER WAS NOT NORMAL 🚨

📉 CONFIRMED:

The United States recorded a sharp drop in non-farm employment in October, and it was NOT just a simple economic cooling.

💣 The key that many ignore:

• Thousands of federal government employees left the payrolls

• This occurred due to "deferred resignation" plans and effects related to the reorganization/partial shutdown of the government

• The hit distorted the employment data, pushing the numbers down

👉 It was not a sudden recession. It was an administrative shock… but the number hit just the same.

📊 CITIC Securities reading (REAL, but it's analysis):

• If unemployment does NOT continue to rise in December,

👉 the Fed could PAUSE the rate cuts in January

• The upcoming meetings could still see

👉 limited cuts of 25 basis points, not aggressive

⚠️ Message for traders and the market:

• The data is weak in the headline

• But the context shows that not all the deterioration is structural

• Still, the Fed reacts to data, not excuses

🧠 Smoke-free translation:

• Weak employment = pressure on the Fed

• But if unemployment stabilizes

👉 the pace of cuts slows

• Less future liquidity than many expect

🔥 Harsh conclusion:

This data is NOT fake,

IS NOT automatically bullish,

and DOES NOT guarantee more stimulus.

It is a reminder that the labor market is no longer invincible

and that each data point now weighs twice in monetary policy.

Temporary weakness… or the beginning of something bigger? 👀📉
