Strategist: Non-farm data is unlikely to change the Federal Reserve's policy stance
Pepperstone strategist Michael Brown stated in a report that from the perspective of the Federal Reserve's policy, it is hard to imagine that the U.S. employment report would change the rules of the game. Fed Chairman Powell pointed out that policymakers need to see real progress in inflation or some degree of softness in the labor market before they can cut interest rates again.
For markets, an employment report could be a "good news is good news" situation or vice versa. What markets are concerned about is potential economic conditions rather than any potential policy impacts.
