🚨 SEPTEMBER RATE-HIKE ODDS JUMP
🇺🇸 Strong U.S. jobs data is putting a September Fed rate hike back in focus.
The U.S. economy added 162,000 jobs in August, significantly above economists’ expectations, while the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 4.1%.
📊 FED WATCH • August payrolls: +162,000 • Unemployment: 4.1% • September rate-hike odds reached around 60% in CME FedWatch snapshots • Markets are now closely watching upcoming inflation data • A stronger labor market could give the Fed more room to consider tighter policy
₿ WHY IT MATTERS FOR CRYPTO
Higher interest-rate expectations can pressure risk assets such as Bitcoin and altcoins by tightening financial conditions and reducing appetite for risk.
However, a rate hike is not guaranteed. The Fed’s decision will also depend heavily on upcoming inflation data and other economic indicators.
