Analyst: The worst-case scenario for non-farm payrolls is that employment numbers fall short of expectations while wage growth exceeds expectations

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, the dollar is hovering near a four-month low as investors remain cautious ahead of the upcoming key U.S. non-farm payroll report. Concerns over a slowdown in U.S. economic growth have led the market to price in expectations for further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, putting recent pressure on the dollar. This means that the employment data will become particularly important.

Ipek Ozkardeskaya, an analyst at Swissquote Bank, stated in a report that weaker-than-expected employment data could further weaken the dollar. In the worst-case scenario, if job numbers fall below expectations while wage growth exceeds expectations, it would put the Federal Reserve in a position of facing an economic slowdown, but with limited room to provide support.
