Analyst: Solid U.S. January employment data is positive for risk assets

PANews, February 12 – According to Golden Ten Data, Jeff Schulze from Clearbridge Investments pointed out in a report that the U.S. January labor market data is favorable for risk assets, as the data shows a solid employment foundation that can further drive consumption growth. He stated that investors have postponed their expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut from June to July, as the data indicates that the current labor market can maintain growth without additional monetary easing measures. Although rising interest rates bring pressure, the improved economic growth outlook has completely offset this impact. Schulze also reminded that while the overall report is relatively positive, it is important to note that January data is often heavily influenced by seasonal factors, which may exaggerate the performance of that month's employment report.
