Strong Job Data Impacts Investments and Oil Prices
The path to a safe economic slowdown, which doesn't harm investments, is tricky. After the release of the latest job data (NFP data), people are worried. They think the fast growth might affect one of the main goals of the Federal Reserve (the Fed). The job data shows that there's not much improvement in job balance, so the Fed might need to take more actions. This strong job data could be seen as bad for investments and might make the dollar stronger.
Oil prices were already going down because people were scared of a recession caused by high interest rates. The strong job data might limit the increase in oil prices. If US 10-year loan interest rates get close to 5%, it might cause another drop in oil prices.
