U.S. President Donald Trump has dismissed Erika McEntarfer, the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), following the release of weaker‑than‑expected July jobs data and downward revisions to prior months.Trump accused McEntarfer of “skewing data for political purposes,” prompting her removal. The BLS confirmed the firing and announced that William Wiatrowski has been appointed as acting director.The July report showed the U.S. economy added just 73,000 jobs, significantly below forecasts, while job growth estimates for May and June were sharply revised down.Former BLS Director William Beach criticized the move, warning that politicizing statistical agencies “undermines the BLS’s statistical mission and public trust in labor data.”#Trump #BLS #jobsreport #ErikaMcEntarfer #WilliamWiatrowski #economy #jobsdata #politics #publictrust #laborstatistics

Key Takeaways:Bitcoin dip buyers continue accumulating, but price must reclaim $112K to flip momentum bullish.Traders await Friday’s U.S. jobs report, a major macro driver for risk assets.CME FedWatch shows a 97.6% probability of a Fed rate cut in September.Dip Buyers Step In, But Resistance HoldsBitcoin (BTC) is holding near $111,320 after a volatile 24 hours in which price briefly rallied to $112,600 before sellers regained control in the Asian session. BTC slid to $109,329 early Thursday but has since stabilized, with on-chain and derivatives data showing active dip buying.Hyblock data confirms that both retail and institutional traders are accumulating BTC in spot markets, even as short-term traders continue to take profits near range highs.Macro Tension Ahead of Jobs DataMarkets remain on “pins and needles” ahead of Friday’s U.S. nonfarm payrolls (NFP) report. The August jobs release is expected to show around 80,000 new positions, but recent labor indicators have raised red flags:ADP private hiring data showed just 54,000 jobs added in August vs. 75,000 expected.The U.S. now has 7.24M unemployed people vs. 7.18M employed, underscoring labor market fragility.For Bitcoin traders, weaker jobs data could reinforce the case for Federal Reserve rate cuts, seen as bullish for risk assets.The CME FedWatch Tool currently prices in a 97.6% chance of a 25-basis-point cut at the September 17 FOMC meeting.Technical Setup: $112K DecisiveBTC remains locked between $109,000 and $111,200, with liquidation clusters suggesting heightened volatility around these levels. A decisive daily close above $112,000 remains the key bullish trigger to shift sentiment.Until then, traders remain cautious, with short-term resistance capping momentum while structural dip buying keeps downside limited.Bitcoin’s ability to reclaim $112K will likely hinge on Friday’s NFP report. A weaker-than-expected jobs figure could trigger a breakout higher, while an upside surprise may reinforce resistance and push BTC back toward the $109K–$110K range.#Bitcoin #BTC #Crypto #BitcoinNews #NFP #JobsData #FOMC #FedRateCut #FedWatch #DipBuying #MarketAnalysis #Macro
🚀 U.S. Economic Slowdown Intensifies Amid Weak Job Data, Says JPMorgan Strategist
#USEconomy #EconomicSlowdown #JobsData #JPMorgan #DavidKelly #FederalReserve #RateCuts #MonetaryPolicy #StockMarket #FinancialCrisis #Retirees
According to BlockBeats, David Kelly, Chief Global Strategist at JPMorgan Asset Management, stated in a recent CNBC interview that the weak employment report for August and other economic indicators suggest an intensifying slowdown in the U.S. economy. He noted that while the economy has not yet entered a recession, it is gradually decelerating. Kelly likened the current economic state to a turtle that has become nearly exhausted.
Kelly also expressed skepticism about the Federal Reserve's anticipated interest rate cuts, suggesting they would not effectively stimulate the overall economy. He observed that the stock market's rise reflects expectations of imminent rate cuts, but argued that this approach does not address the fundamental issues. He emphasized that rate cuts at this time would reduce interest income for retirees and send further signals of rate reductions to the market, leaving borrowers with little incentive to take on more debt. Kelly pointed out that historical trends throughout the 21st century demonstrate that rate cuts do not spur economic growth, citing the ineffectiveness of such measures following the financial crisis. He concluded by advising against relying on the Federal Reserve to rescue the economy.#USEconomy #EconomicSlowdown #JobsData #JPMorgan #DavidKelly #FederalReserve #RateCuts #MonetaryPolicy #StockMarket #FinancialCrisis #Retirees

Key TakeawaysEconomists warn the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) may cut up to 1 million jobs from prior payroll estimates.Wells Fargo and others forecast an 800,000-job downward revision, averaging 67,000 fewer jobs per month.A major revision would highlight labor market weakness and strengthen expectations for a September Fed rate cut.Labor Market Set for Major RevisionThe U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will release revised annual non-farm payroll (NFP) data on Tuesday. Economists from Wells Fargo, Cointelegraph, and Pansen Macro expect the March 2025 job tally to come in 800,000 lower than earlier reported. This implies the economy added 67,000 fewer jobs per month than initially thought.Nomura Securities, Bank of America, and RBC go further, projecting the revision could approach 1 million jobs.Fed Rate Cut Expectations RiseA sharp downward adjustment would confirm that the U.S. labor market slowed more than previously recognized in 2024, reinforcing the case for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts.Markets already price in a September rate reduction, with traders betting on at least a 0.25% cut, according to CME FedWatch data.Analysts suggest weaker jobs data could accelerate easing, even as inflation concerns persist. #NFP #NonFarmPayrolls #PayrollRevision #USJobs #LaborMarket #JobsData #FedRateCut #RateCutExpectation #FedWatch #MonetaryPolicy #SeptemberRateCut #EconomicData #InflationConcerns
🚀 U.S. Employment Data Revision Fuels Federal Reserve Rate Cut Speculation
#USEconomy #Fed #RateCut #CPI #LaborMarket #JobsData #USStocks #BlockBeats
According to BlockBeats, Michael James, Managing Director of Equity Trading at Rosenblatt Securities, has indicated that the revision of U.S. employment data is bolstering the argument for a Federal Reserve rate cut. The upcoming release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) on Thursday morning is expected to provide further insights. However, the significant decline in labor force growth suggests that the Federal Reserve may initiate a rate cut cycle later this month. This anticipation has contributed to an overall positive performance in the U.S. stock market this morning.#USEconomy #Fed #RateCut #CPI #LaborMarket #JobsData #USStocks #BlockBeats

🚀 UBS: Fed Rate-Cut Outlook Intact Despite Strong Jobs Data, but Urgency Has Eased
#FedRateCut #UBS #InterestRates #JobsData #Inflation #RateCutExpectations #USJobsReport #MarketRepricing #LaborMarket #Disinflation
The Federal Reserve is still expected to cut interest rates later this year despite a stronger-than-expected January U.S. jobs report, though the urgency for near-term easing has diminished, according to UBS Global Wealth Management.In a recent report cited by Jin10, Mark Haefele, chief investment officer at UBS Global Wealth Management, said ongoing evidence of cooling U.S. inflation should allow the Federal Reserve to stick to its planned easing path.UBS’s base case remains two 25-basis-point rate cuts, expected in June and September. Haefele said such a trajectory “would create a favorable environment for stocks, bonds, and gold,” even as recent data has prompted markets to reassess the timing.Market reprices rate-cut expectationsMoney market pricing has shifted following the January non-farm payrolls release. Data from the London Stock Exchange shows that investors have trimmed expectations for total Fed rate cuts in 2026 to about 50 basis points, down from roughly 60 basis points previously.Markets have also pushed back expectations for the next rate cut, moving the implied timing from June to July, reflecting reduced urgency for policy easing after signs of continued labor market resilience.Despite the adjustment, UBS said the broader disinflation trend remains intact, supporting its view that the Fed can still begin easing later this year, even if the path unfolds more gradually than previously anticipated. #FedRateCut #UBS #InterestRates #JobsData #Inflation #RateCutExpectations #USJobsReport #MarketRepricing #LaborMarket #Disinflation
