Non-farm payrolls to be released tonight, data is expected to be weak but healthy

The US non-farm report for December will be released at 21:30 tonight. It is expected that the number of new jobs will be 160,000, lower than the 227,000 in November, but roughly the same as the four-month average. The unemployment rate is still controllably stable at 4.2%. However, some Wall Street people expect that due to factors such as seasonal trends, the data may be weaker, casting a shadow on the prospect of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut in the new year. Be wary of the dramatic market fluctuations caused by unexpected changes in data. (Jinshi)
