PANews reported on February 12th that, according to Jinshi, the unexpected surge in US non-farm payrolls hit the US Treasury market, with traders reducing their bets on a Federal Reserve rate cut this year. Short-term Treasury bonds were hit hardest, with the two-year Treasury yield rising 6 basis points to around 3.51%. The money market now expects the Fed's next rate cut to occur in July, rather than the previously anticipated June. Asian stock index futures diverged after US stocks closed flat. Futures indicated a rise in Japanese stocks after their holiday break on Thursday, while the Australian benchmark stock index contract fell. This volatility suggests that the current strength of the US economy is offsetting market desires for lower borrowing costs, supporting risk sentiment. Bret Kenwell of eToro stated that investors should welcome the US jobs report, even if it gives the Fed more room to keep interest rates unchanged. He noted, "If the labor market does stabilize, that will be constructive for both the economy and the markets."
