币界网报道:U.S. job growth slowed in June while unemployment edged up, signaling potential cooling in the labor market that could influence Federal Reserve policy decisions. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 206,000 last month, slightly above economist forecasts of 190,000, but downward revisions subtracted 111,000 jobs from April and May's totals. The unemployment rate rose to 4.1% from 4%, marking the highest level since November 2021, as more workers entered the labor force. Wage growth moderated to 3.9% year-over-year, the first reading below 4% since June 2021, potentially easing inflation concerns. The healthcare sector led job gains (+49,000), followed by government (+70,000) and social assistance (+34,000), while retail trade lost jobs (-9,000). The labor force participation rate ticked up to 62.6%, with prime-age workers (25-54 years) reaching 83.7% participation - matching a 22-year high. Market reactions were mixed, with Treasury yields falling as traders increased bets on Fed rate cuts, pricing in nearly two full cuts by year-end. The report presents a nuanced picture for policymakers, showing resilient hiring but emerging signs of moderation that could support arguments for easing monetary policy later this year.
