Schroders Chief Economist: U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls Data Below Expectations, but Recent Factors May Weaken the Need for Rate Cuts

Gate News Report, March 6 — Schroders Global Chief Economist David Rees commented on the U.S. non-farm payroll data. Rees pointed out that the non-farm employment figures were significantly below expectations, providing a basis for dovish discussions within the Federal Reserve. He stated that at least part of the deviation below expectations was due to strikes in the healthcare industry, which are expected to be reversed. Additionally, despite the soft employment report, the continued growth in labor demand persists amid the ongoing strong U.S. economic expansion. Rees mentioned that Kevin Woor, who is about to become the Federal Reserve Chair, previously expressed the view that the application of artificial intelligence would greatly enhance U.S. productivity and create room for rate cuts. However, he also noted that the recovery of the labor market and inflation risks from Middle Eastern events would weaken the need for rate cuts in the short term.

Institutional analyst: Poor February employment data does not change the Federal Reserve's expectation of rate cuts this year; the market expects only one rate cut this year.

Carson Group analyst Sonu Varghese stated that despite poor employment data in February, the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut expectations for this year remain unchanged, and risks in the labor market still exist. Meanwhile, energy prices and artificial intelligence bottlenecks will keep the Federal Reserve cautious on rate cuts, and the market may only expect one rate cut.
