US Stocks: Fed Rate Cut Bets Rise After Weak Jobs Data
Weak February employment data, showing a loss of 92,000 jobs, coincided with oil prices climbing to $90 a barrel and U.S. gas prices jumping 10%. The mixed signals have revived investor expectations that the Federal Reserve could pivot to a rate cut as early as June, despite a March meeting slated to keep rates steady. Fed officials, including Governor Christopher Waller and San Francisco President Mary Daly, warned that rising commodity costs and a softening labor market could rekindle stagflation concerns. Market participants are now weighing the trade‑off between curbing inflation and supporting a fragile job market.
