Trump Tariff Court Ruling and December Jobs Report on 9 January 2026: Potential Shockwaves for Crypto Markets

On 9 January 2026, investors are focused on the U.S. December employment report and a potential Supreme Court decision on Donald Trump's tariffs, both seen as key drivers for rates and risk sentiment. Economists expect about 73,000 new jobs and a small decline in unemployment to 4.5%, while any ruling on the legality of tariff powers and possible importer refunds could shake fiscal and trade outlooks. These outcomes may influence bond yields, equities, and demand for digital assets as traders reassess monetary policy expectations and safe-haven alternatives.
