US economy sheds 23,000 jobs in July, lowering Fed rate hike hopes

The U.S. labor market showed unexpected weakness in July, with nonfarm payrolls decreasing by 23,000 jobs, failing to meet the market expectation of a gain of approximately 80,000 to 85,000. Previous data for May and June were also revised downward by a combined 103,000 positions.

Despite the loss of jobs, the unemployment rate fell slightly to 4.1% from 4.2% in June, a shift attributed to a contraction in the number of people seeking work. The labor force participation rate reached its lowest level outside the pandemic-era recession since 1976.

This cooling labor market has influenced financial markets, lowering expectations that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates at its September meeting. In response to the report, major U.S. stock indices, including the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq, saw significant weekly gains, bolstered by strong corporate earnings—particularly in the technology sector—and shifting interest rate outlooks.
