Wall Street Analysis
Jason Pride, chief investment officer at Private Wealth, said: “These data confirm expectations that the U.S. is going through a slow recession, but it doesn’t suggest that the inflation problem will be resolved immediately. The possibility of a 1-point rise in May should be higher because the data seems Doesn’t justify the Fed pausing rate hikes.”
Ian Lyngen, head of U.S. interest rate strategy at BMO Capital Markets, judged: “The March non-agricultural employment data will not prevent the Fed from raising interest rates by 1 yard in May, although the upcoming inflation data may affect this decision. Although most of the global central bank policies Tightening, but the employment situation remains surprisingly strong, and the Fed’s upcoming interest rate decision will depend almost entirely on the March Consumer Price Index (CPI) report.”
