Will the attack on non-agricultural agriculture in May change the Fed's interest rate cut bets?

The US non-farm payrolls data for May will be closely watched by investors to determine whether the April slowdown is only a temporary phenomenon. According to a survey, economists expect the number of non-farm payrolls to increase by 180,000 in May, which is basically the same as the 175,000 increase in April. BNP Paribas estimates that the number of non-farm workers in the US will increase by 200,000 in May, slightly higher than 175,000 in April. If employment growth in the US slows more than expected, it may cause some people to cut interest rates earlier.

The Federal Reserve needs more evidence to confirm that the path to cooling inflation is unlikely to cut interest rates in the short term

This week, Federal Reserve officials received evidence that inflation continues to fall (albeit fluctuating), but policymakers are unlikely to change their positions where more evidence is needed. The Zhitong Finance App learned that government data released on Friday showed that the basic inflation index preferred by the Federal Reserve cooled down last month, and the growth rate was the slowest since this year. Additionally, consumers cut spending in April as the economy grew slower than expected in the first quarter. These reports paint a picture of a moderate economic slowdown, which is what policymakers want to see, and dispels concerns about a renewed acceleration in price growth. But officials may look for it after the next few weeks of meetings
