#NFPWatch

The most recent Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report, released on July 3, 2025, showed the U.S. economy added 147,000 jobs in June, surpassing the consensus expectation of 110,000. The unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, better than the forecasted 4.3%. Wage growth was slightly higher than expected at 0.4% month-over-month. This stronger-than-anticipated data led to a rally in the U.S. dollar and reduced expectations for an immediate Federal Reserve rate cut, impacting markets like gold and equities. Posts on X also highlight sentiment around the report, with some users noting the positive 152,000 job figure against expectations of 129,000, though others point to potential revisions and rising unemployment trends based on WARN data.
