The surprise in today’s employment report was something certainly no one anticipated. The Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) recorded 353k as against the predicted figure of 180k. True, there are instances when the actual figure beats the forecast by more than 100k but they are not common enough for economists to adjust their estimates accordingly. The unexpected upward revisions in the figures for the last few months are also contributing to the declining bond prices.

Punxsutawney Phil, the famous groundhog, predicted an early spring this morning after failing to see his shadow, despite having a less than fifty percent accuracy rate. On a separate note, tech tycoon Elon Musk continues to cement his influence across various sectors. His endeavours range from dominating the electric vehicle industry through Tesla, enhancing internet connectivity with Starlink, facilitating space exploration with SpaceX, and even neural technology.

“Analyzing the Impact of Market Movements and Political Decisions on Mortgage Rates: January 30 Update”

In the past, the Bond market didn’t hold high regard for the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). However, over the last couple of years, it’s gained increased significance as the world attempted to navigate the uncertain labor market in the post-pandemic era. In some instances, it’s even had a more substantial impact than the prominent jobs report. Today, a spike in job vacancies has undone earlier Treasury gains and nudged the Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) into a slightly more vulnerable position.
