Federal Reserve Rate Cuts and Labor Market Insights

Recent data indicates a significant drop in US job openings, prompting traders to bet on steeper interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. The decrease in job vacancies, the lowest in three years, has stirred discussions about the labor market's current state and its implications for interest rate policy. Analysts suggest that the central focus of the Federal Reserve may shift towards employment data rather than solely inflation metrics.
