Strong August U.S. jobs report lifts Treasury yields
AI Market Summary
A much stronger-than-expected August U.S. payrolls print and steady 4.1% unemployment lifted implied odds of a September Fed hike (to ~59%), pushing front-end Treasury yields higher and supporting the dollar. The repricing tightens financial conditions and can weigh on rate-sensitive risk assets, while gold fell as real-rate expectations firmed. Next week's CPI becomes the key confirmation point for policy.
