US August Jobs Report Shows Resilience, Influencing Fed's September Rate Decision
The US Federal Reserve may face a challenging decision on interest rates in September following a stronger-than-expected August jobs report, which showed non-farm payrolls rising by 162,000 and the unemployment rate steady at 4.1%. While hiring was broad-based across sectors, overall job growth remains below pre-pandemic levels. Wage growth moderated slightly, and despite the positive data, ICICI Bank Research suggests underlying labour market softness may persist, potentially influencing future policy easing.
