In financial markets, strength is not always measured by what you see, but by what no one expects.



The US jobs report for January not only exceeded expectations but completely crushed them, placing us in an economic scene that reorders the Federal Reserve's strategies once again.

The biggest paradox:
The contraction of the government and the interesting growth of the market are not only reflected in the 130,000 jobs figure, which doubled the estimates, but also in the "identity" of these jobs.

While the public sector lost 34,000 jobs,
the private sector was injecting vitality into the market with a strength we haven't seen since April 2025.

We are facing an economy where government spending on employment is shrinking,
while the private sector refuses to succumb to interest rate pressures.

Unemployment... a decline reflecting resilience
The decrease in the unemployment rate to 4.3% is a clear message that the labor market remains "tight" (Tight).

This decline immediately pushed 10-year bond yields higher,
as if the markets are telling everyone:
"Don't expect a quick interest rate cut."

The end of the "rosy" March dreams
The bet on interest rate cuts in March has almost vanished,
dropping from 20% to just 6% within minutes.

Numbers do not lie;
the economy generating jobs at this pace does not need an urgent monetary easing "shot."

Insight:
In the world of investing, strong data can sometimes be "bad news" for those waiting for a rate cut,

but it is a "vote of confidence" in the resilience of the real economy.

Purchasing power and the labor market are the true drivers,
and what is happening now is a recalibration of the trust balance between Federal Reserve policies and the reality on Main Street.

The upcoming conflict will not only be between inflation and interest rates,
but also between a growing economy and bond yields demanding more...
