In May, the number of new non-farm payrolls in the United States unexpectedly rose from 294,000 to 339,000, well above the 180,000 expected. However, the unemployment rate increased to 3.7% from 3.4%, the highest since October 2022, and above the forecast of 3.5%.
The wage data, which is closely linked to inflation, slowed slightly, with the average monthly wage rate falling from 0.4% to 0.3%, while the market had expected it to remain unchanged at 0.4%; the annual rate fell from 4.4% to 4.3. %, in line with expectations.
Fxstreet said the increase in the unemployment rate amid the surge in new jobs is the result of more and more people joining the workforce, proving that the labor shortage problem is less than imagined, and will also reduce wages. , which means that inflation is decreasing.
However, Fxstreet also pointed out that a resilient labor market is not the best news, as it could increase inflationary pressures in due course and the Fed may need to pull the trigger again.
