The upcoming release of U.S. employment data on August 2023 is anticipated to significantly impact interest rate cut expectations. According to BlockBeats, ADP employment numbers for August are projected to be released tonight at 20:15 UTC+8 with a previous figure of 104,000 and an expected 65,000 increase. Furthermore, initial jobless claims for the week ending August 30th are anticipated to be announced at 20:30 UTC+8, with a prior count of 229,000 and an expected 230,000 surge. Finally, the U.S. August unemployment rate, alongside seasonally adjusted non-farm payrolls, will be revealed tomorrow night at 20:30 UTC+8. Analysts suggest that this month’s labor market data is receiving increased scrutiny. This week’s non-farm payroll figures, particularly impactful due to statements made by U.S. President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, are influencing speculation about potential rate cuts. If the labor market data falls short of expectations, it could intensify calls for 50 basis point rate reductions from both the government and financial markets. The impact is further heightened as Chair Powell emphasized economic and employment risks while attempting to balance rate cut expectations with inflation concerns arising from tariffs.
