Weaker U.S. labor market: Only 38,000 new jobs created in the private sector in August

According to CoinMeta, the U.S. labor market is weak, with only 38,000 new jobs created in the private sector in August, which is lower than the expected 47,000 and a decrease from 46,000 in July. These weak figures may strengthen the case for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, which could be positive for the stock and crypto markets, while putting pressure on the dollar and Treasury yields. The market is watching the upcoming Friday non-farm payroll report, with expectations that non-farm employment will increase by 53,000 and the unemployment rate will remain at 4.1%.
