Quick Glance: Record Number of New Jobs in the US in January

New data from the Labor Department shows that the US economy added 353,000 jobs in January, with the unemployment rate at 3.7 percent.

The January jobs report far exceeded economists' expectations, who predicted a gain of 185,000 jobs and an unemployment rate of 3.8 percent.

"The labor market is the little engine that could, and it kept chugging away in January," said John Leer, chief economist at Morning Consult.

The surprisingly strong jobs report will exclude a rate cut in March and raises questions about how quickly the Fed will actually lower interest rates.

‘The era of “do nothing, the boss can’t fire me” is over’ says Ivy League professor Jeremy Siegel, as workers face down fear of layoffs

Quick Glance: Workplace Anxiety Driving Productivity

Professor Jeremy Siegel of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania suggests that fear of layoffs has actually contributed to the increase in productivity.

Productivity has surged, partially due to workers' fear of being laid off, according to Professor Siegel.

Professor Siegel anticipates this productivity surge to continue, partially supported by advancements in artificial intelligence.

Siegel is disappointed in the Fed's lack of attention to productivity in the macroeconomic environment, and believes this will result in another pause from the Fed in December unless something extraordinary happens in the coming weeks.

Fed's Kashkari Warns Against Early Celebrations In Inflation War: 'Under-Tightening Will Not Get Us Back

Quick Glance: Fed's Kashkari Urges Caution in Inflation Battle

President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, Neel Kashkari, warns against premature victory declarations over inflation, despite signs of easing price pressures.

While Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hinted at the central bank being done with interest-rate hikes, Kashkari emphasized it's too early to conclude on future hikes.

Why It Matters: Kashkari's insistence on more data signals the complexity of the ongoing war against inflation, highlighted by the ambiguous economic stance of Federal Reserve Chairman Powell.

This decision marked the second consecutive rate pause, as detailed in another Benzinga report.

Quick Glance: Fed rate hikes possibly concluded as labor market further cools

Slowing U.S. job growth and cooling wage pressures might provide Federal Reserve policymakers with renewed confidence that the U.S. economy is adapting to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, allowing inflation to ease without requiring additional interest rate increases.

Bond yields declined, and traders of contracts linked to the Fed's policy rate now perceive only a 12% probability of a rate hike by January, down from 30% prior to the release of the employment report.

The reports on inflation in the upcoming months will be crucial, he stated.

Despite the relaxation of financial conditions, the Fed will depend on economic data to determine its course of action, "and the data indicate that we are finished with rate hikes."
