The Federal Reserve just threw a wrench into rate cut hopes after blowout jobs data surfaced. Recent U.S. jobless claims came in at 214,000, which was significantly lower than the expected 224,000. This drop signals a labor market that remains incredibly resilient. For investors, this strength is actually a double-edged sword because it keeps inflation risks alive. Now, the Fed will likely keep interest rates higher for much longer, potentially pushing any major cuts well into 2026. Stocks and crypto are feeling the heat as liquidity stays tight. You should manage your risks carefully and follow the data.
