A data check on tonight's nonfarm payrolls: employment unexpectedly decreased, but the unemployment rate fell instead of rising, and the labor force participation rate also declined — this is not simply a matter of strength or weakness, but both numerator and denominator shrinking together. The White House also acknowledged that government employees and World Cup hiring declines were the main drags; excluding these, the increase was about 100,000. In plain language: the labor market is cooling down, but it's the "supply" that's dropping, not a collapse in demand. The implication for the rate hike path — urgency decreases, but the decision power returns to inflation data. Data won't play games with you, so don't just focus on that negative headline. $BTC
