And is warning.

Mr. Tong believes that the best scenario for US stocks is for the September unemployment rate to fall below 4.1% and for the number of non-farm payrolls to exceed 0.15 million. In this scenario, as investors are willing to take on more risks, the market may experience sustained rotation, with the possibility of funds flowing into cyclical stocks. Mr. Tong also believes that if future rate cuts are implemented, small-cap stocks, industrial stocks, consumer discretionaries, and a-reit etfs would also benefit.

An analyst at bank of america corp believes that employment statistics are important as a factor of market fluctuations ahead of the US presidential election.

Based on stock index options pricing, the S&P500 index is expected to show volatility of over 1% on October 4th.

US job openings were weak in August, indicating a slowdown in the labor market, while ADP non-farm payrolls for September expanded more than expected.
The US Labor Department's Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) announced on the 1st showed an increase of 0.329 million job openings to 8.04 million in August. The market expectation was 7.66 million. After decreasing for two consecutive months, it unexpectedly increased.

Expectations of interest rate cuts.
According to CME Group's FedWatch tool, the market...In November, there is a 65.9% chance that the FRB will implement a 25bp rate cut, and a 34.1% chance of implementing a 50bp rate cut.Regarding the timing of additional rate hikes, there are hardly any predictions for June, and July and October are both at 33%.

Some analysts believe that if the non-farm payroll employment number cools more than expected, market bets on a 50bp rate cut by the FRB may increase. On the other hand, if the non-farm payroll employment number stabilizes, a strong dollar due to a decrease in the unemployment rate may dampen market expectations for a significant rate cut by the FRB.
