The Worst Jobs Print Since 2021 Just Forced the Fed’s Hand

In Today’s Masters in Trading: Live LIVE: The Worst Jobs Print Since 2021 Just Forced the Fed's Hand It’s that time of the month again… New job prints just hit the tape. And the data isn’t looking quite like the home run the markets were hoping for. Only 22,000 jobs were added over the last month. And now unemployment sits at a staggering 4.3% – the highest level since 2021.  Even worse, June's data got revised to a net loss and prior months were marked down. This isn't just one bad print. It marks a larger pattern of deterioration spreading across retail, government, manufacturing, finance and tech. Only healthcare is showing gains. While there’s still a lot of uncertainty, I think the next move from here is clear. Another rate cut from the Federal Reserve is nearly guaranteed. But beyond September, it’s an open question. You see, the Fed is trying to thread a needle right now. Cut too much and you risk inflation rising even higher. Cut too little and you risk a recession while the whole tightening cycle continues. It’s a tough scenario with no easy answers. And while we can’t say for sure what happens beyond September, none of us should be panicking or sitting on the sidelines. If there’s one thing this market has taught us, it’s that uncertainty creates volatility. And here at Masters in Trading, we've been absolutely crushing volatile markets all year. From that major victory trading an Ethererum ETF that wasn’t on anyone’s radar… To our massive wins in stocks like TMC (a play on deep-sea exploration) and QXO (builder consolidation)… Masters in Trading has consistently delivered unique setups with massive upside potential – wherever volatility takes shape. And the Masters in Trading Challenge is designed to show you exactly how we pull off volatile trade setups with conviction, process, and solid options fundamentals.
