US Job Growth Expected to Rise; Fed Comments Influence Markets Amid Global Tensions
US job growth is expected to rebound to about 55,000 in August after a slow July, with the unemployment rate steady at 4.1%. Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh described the labor market as consistent with full employment, influencing expectations of a potential interest rate hike in September. Meanwhile, Asian stocks declined following Warsh's hawkish comments, while oil prices rose amid Middle East tensions. The dollar remained strong as markets reacted cautiously to these developments.
