Non-farm payroll data leaked ahead of schedule? Trump's social media "accidentally" exposed key jobs report.

According to Mars Finance, on Thursday evening, January 10th local time, US President Trump posted a chart on his social media platform Truth Social containing key US non-farm payroll data that had not yet been released, nearly a day before the official release date, attracting market and media attention. The chart showed that since January, the US private sector had added 654,000 jobs, while the government sector had lost 181,000 jobs. This data was originally scheduled to be officially released by the US Department of Labor on Friday along with the December non-farm payroll report. The White House subsequently responded that the disclosure was "unintentional" and stated that it would review the release of economic data and the embargo agreement. White House officials explained that the president is legally entitled to advance access to some economic data, and the data used in the chart was partly derived from legal advance briefings, but should not have been publicly released during the embargo period. Trump himself stated that the responsibility did not lie with him, saying, "Give them the opportunity to release it." It is worth noting that this is not the first time Trump has caused controversy by prematurely hinting at or disclosing non-farm payroll data. In the market, after this incident, US stock index futures only fluctuated slightly during the quiet trading session, without any obvious abnormalities. Analysts warn that such incidents could undermine market confidence in the neutrality and credibility of official U.S. economic data. KPMG Chief Economist Diane Swonk points out that premature leaks of sensitive data could disrupt market fairness and encourage investors to "interpret the president's social media signals" before official releases, thereby exacerbating volatility risks.
