The unemployment rate was 4.0 % – the survey used to produce the integrated number is separate reviews to reflect the estimate of the new population at the beginning of the year, making the number not disturbable since the previous months. Meanwhile, wages rose 0.5 %.

“While some investors may worry about the effects of inflation or price discounts, they do not make mistakes: it is better to have a strong economy and the labor market from a deteriorating environment. Remember that stocks tend to achieve good performance amid light enlargement.”

For Neil Dutta in Renaissance Research, the fixed -income reaction to the data is an opportunity to clarify the asset category.

“In the end, the Federal Reserve will need to reduce prices because many things do not work with higher rates,” Dutta said. “Given the same data, the periodic areas of the labor market are slow. The goods produced for soft labor and total hours in the manufacturing sector.”

“The federal reserve has another round of inflation and employment data to Mull before the next announced announcement on March 19,” said Mark Hamrik at Bankraate. “The remaining patient is seen before another step to the interest rate after she recently chose to stand on Bat.”
