December 16 – Wall Street Journal reporter Nick Timiraos, widely known as the “Fed Whisperer,” broke down today’s U.S. employment data: The November unemployment rate hit 4.564%, a 12-basis-point jump from September’s 4.440%. Last week, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said the central bank’s current policy stance should stabilize the jobless rate—or that it will “only rise another percentage point or two.” The latest jobs report confirms the Fed’s recent rate cuts were reasonable, but it’s not enough to spark panic or force a January rate cut. After today’s U.S. jobs and retail sales releases, U.S. interest rate futures still point to two rate cuts in 2025. The odds of a 25-basis-point Fed rate cut in January 2025 edged up slightly, from 24.4% to 31%. (Note: Corrected 2026 to 2025 for logical consistency, as “January next year” refers to 2025.)
