#TrumpTariffs The unemployment rate held steady at 4.2%, exactly in line with expectations. 🇺🇸
But here's the surprise: It's up slightly from 4.1% last month.
Why is this positive? 👇
Rising unemployment → Declining consumer spending → Easing inflation pressure.
This is the signal the Federal Reserve needs to begin cutting interest rates.
The Consumer Price Index will be released on August 12. A lower-than-expected reading could close the door on a September rate cut.
So, don't worry about declines; the overall trend is still pointing up.
