TL;DR
Founder Securities notes mixed December jobs data, leading markets to expect no Fed rate cut in January, with cuts possible by June. US stocks may benefit from AI and reduced tariffs.
According to a report by Jinshi Finance, Founder Securities stated that the December non-farm payroll data was mixed, with the US job market generally showing a mild downward trend, but the unemployment rate showing marginal improvement, giving the Federal Reserve more reason to wait and see in January. The market is pricing in a no-rate-cut rate in January, with a possible rate cut as early as June. Due to the Supreme Court potentially declaring the IEEPA tariffs unconstitutional, economic expectations may improve marginally, inflationary pressures may weaken, and short-term US Treasury bonds face unfavorable factors. US stocks, however, will benefit from the AI boom and reduced tariff disruptions.
