June jobs numbers in the US smash expectations

June jobs numbers in the US smash expectations

The US economy in the month of June put on a total of 224,000 jobs which was a big beat against the forecast 160,000 and up from May’s number of 75,000. Despite the slowdown in wage inflation, the result will reassure investors that the US continues to be in good health against the backdrop of slowing global growth. Conversely it will cause some volatility in the short term for markets as investors revise their expectations for the US cutting rates three times this year to potentially just two or one.
