Nonfarm Payrolls Report: Jobs Report & Economic Data
Update: 2025-12-16
Description
Stock market futures dipped slightly as investors awaited the nonfarm payrolls report, a key indicator for the US economy. Economists predicted around 188,000 jobs added in March, with the unemployment rate remaining stable at 3.9%. Despite Federal Reserve interest rate increases, the job market has shown strength, though some experts suggest the growth might be exaggerated. Investors are also monitoring economic data for signs of slowdown, as the Federal Reserves rate cut decisions hinge on incoming data. In other news, the US trade deficit grew to $68.9 billion in February, larger than expected.
