U.S. job openings rose to 7.67 million in October, reaching a five-month high and exceeding market expectations. However, hiring fell to 5.149 million, reflecting stagnation in the labor market, partly due to reduced labor supply and the impact of artificial intelligence applications.

The Federal Reserve will hold its final interest rate meeting in December. Some officials do not support a rate cut, but Chair Powell may push to lower rates to 3.5%-3.75%. The key issue is whether enough consensus can be reached, while slowing job growth is sparking differing views on this rate cut.

Odaily Planet Daily News: In November, the US NFIB Small Business Confidence Index rose to 99.0, up 0.8 points from October, with six out of ten sub-indices showing an increase, mainly driven by improved sales expectations. However, the Uncertainty Index rose by 3 points to 91, partially offsetting the optimism. Labor market conditions remain concerning, and the overall situation is still severe. About 33% of business owners reported job openings in November (previous value: 32%), marking the first increase since June and significantly higher than the historical average of 24%. There were positive signals in employment expectations, with about 19% of business owners planning to add employees in the next three months, up 4 percentage points from October and reaching the highest level of the year. Inflation remains a major concern in the November data, with the proportion of business owners raising average selling prices increasing from 21% in October to 34%.

This week, Bitcoin traders are facing a dense schedule of U.S. economic data and policy events, including the FOMC rate decision, a speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, JOLTS job openings, and initial jobless claims—four key indicators. These data points will directly influence market sentiment and determine the next phase for Bitcoin. The FOMC rate decision is considered the most impactful event for the crypto market this week and will be announced on Wednesday. CME data currently shows the market expects an 87% probability of a rate cut. Easing policies are generally positive for Bitcoin. After experiencing volatility over the weekend, Bitcoin has remained stable above $90,000, indicating resilient buying interest. However, the market widely believes that the Fed’s forward guidance will have a greater impact than the rate cut itself.

ChainCatcher reports that SlowMist’s Yu Xian (@evilcos) has issued a warning about Web3 job seekers encountering malicious code traps during interviews. In this incident, an attacker impersonated @seracleofficial and asked the candidate to review and run code from Bitbucket. After the victim cloned the code, the program immediately scanned all local .env files and stole sensitive information such as private keys. SlowMist pointed out that this type of backdoor is a typical stealer, capable of collecting browser-saved passwords, crypto wallet mnemonics, private keys, and other private data. Experts emphasize that any review of suspicious code must be conducted in an isolated environment and not run directly on a real device to avoid attacks.

According to a report by Jinse Finance, the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) announced on Wednesday that the US services index rose slightly by 0.2 to a nine-month high of 52.6. A reading above 50 indicates the sector is in expansion. The ISM services and materials prices paid index showed the slowest growth rate in seven months. Although still at historically high levels, this figure suggests inflationary pressures have eased somewhat. The overall services index was supported by longer supplier delivery times and further improvement in business activity. The supplier deliveries index rose by 3.3 points, reaching its highest level in over a year. This increase may reflect challenges businesses face with tariffs as they seek product sources in a complex trade environment. The business activity index climbed to a three-month high of 54.5. Meanwhile, order growth slowed from a one-year high. Employment in the services sector showed further signs of stabilizing. The employment index rose to a six-month high of 48.9, indicating a slower pace of job declines. According to an ISM survey

PANews, November 28 - Goldman Sachs warns of "cracks" in the U.S. labor market. WARN filings related to planned large-scale layoffs have risen to their highest level since 2016 (excluding the pandemic peak); Challenger statistics show that layoff announcements in October are close to recession levels, primarily from technology, industrial goods, and food and beverage sectors. Goldman Sachs states that layoffs combined with low hiring rates make it harder for the unemployed to find reemployment. Initial jobless claims remain low, but they usually lag behind private layoff data by about two months and may rise in winter. Amazon plans to cut about 14,000 corporate jobs this fall. Goldman Sachs indicates that there is currently insufficient evidence to determine AI as a major driver of layoffs.

Odaily News The weekly initial jobless claims in the U.S. have decreased, indicating that the number of unemployed remains very low, although the labor market is struggling to create sufficient job opportunities for the unemployed amid persistent economic uncertainty. Data released on Wednesday showed that for the week ending November 22, the seasonally adjusted initial jobless claims fell by 6,000 to 216,000. Economists had previously expected the initial jobless claims to be 225,000 for last week. Due to Thursday being Thanksgiving, the report was released a day early. Economists say that President Trump’s aggressive trade and immigration policies have created an environment where companies are reluctant to lay off or hire more workers, leading to what they and policymakers describe as a "no-hire no-fire" labor market. However, some companies, including Amazon, are ramping up layoffs as they integrate artificial intelligence into certain positions.

The Federal Reserve Board of Governors member Waller advocates for a rate cut in December, believing inflation will fall. San Francisco Fed President Daly also supports a rate cut, arguing that the risks in the job market outweigh inflation. CME data shows an 82.7% probability of a rate cut.

Odaily News The National Association for Business Economics (NABE) stated in its annual forecast survey that the U.S. economic growth rate will slightly accelerate next year, but job growth will remain weak, and the Fed will slow the pace of further interest rate cuts. This survey covers 42 professional forecasters, and the results show that the median economic forecast is a rise of 2%, up from 1.8% in the October survey. Increased personal spending and business investment are expected to drive economic growth higher, but professional forecasters almost unanimously believe that the new import tariffs from the Trump administration will drag the growth rate down by at least 0.25 percentage points. The survey report states, "Respondents believe that 'tariff impacts' are the biggest downside risk to the U.S. economic outlook." Stricter immigration enforcement is also seen as a factor suppressing economic growth, while improvements in productivity are considered the most likely factor driving economic growth above expectations. Additionally, inflation is expected to be 2.9% by the end of this year.

The U.S. economy is experiencing an unusual phenomenon where a weak labor market coexists with high productivity, which is troubling policymakers. Despite a decrease in job openings and strong GDP, economists remain uncertain about the impact of interest rate cuts on hiring, wary that a lack of job expansion could lead to an economic recession.

Golden Financial reported that U.S. consumer confidence fell to one of its historical lows in November, as Americans became more pessimistic about their financial situation. According to data from the University of Michigan, the final consumer confidence index for November dropped from 53.6 in October to 51, just slightly above the preliminary value. The current conditions index fell by 7.5 points to a record low of 51.1. Consumers' views on their personal finances are at their most pessimistic level since 2009. Survey director Joanne Hsu stated, "Consumers remain frustrated by persistently high prices and declining incomes." The data shows that consumers expect prices to rise at an annual growth rate of 4.5% over the next year, which has slowed for the third consecutive month. They anticipate an average price increase rate of 3.4% over the next five to ten years, down from 3.9% in October.

According to 4E observations, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will resume the release of the delayed September non-farm payroll report due to the government shutdown this Thursday, ending a two-month gap in official data. However, this data is viewed as "outdated information" due to latency, and its market impact may be relatively limited. The Dow Jones consensus expects approximately 50,000 new jobs in September, higher than the original estimate of 22,000 for August, but still reflects a weak labor market; the unemployment rate is expected to remain at 4.3%, with a month-on-month wage growth of 0.3% and a year-on-year growth of 3.7%, basically in line with the previous values. RSM Chief Economist Bru Suelas believes that the revised data for September and the previous two months may be slightly better than expected, but overall remains weak. The impact of the standstill on the data system is even more profound. The BLS has confirmed that it will combine the employment reports for October and November to be released on December 16, and the unemployment rate for October will not be released separately; job vacancies (JOLTS) will also be combined.

On November 20, the expected September non-farm payroll report will reflect the weakness in the labor market, with multiple agencies generally anticipating new job numbers between 40,000 and 80,000, and the unemployment rate remaining at 4.3%. The overall trend indicates a slowdown in the job market, but no severe recession has occurred.

According to a report by Golden Finance, a Reuters/Ipsos poll shows that Trump's support rate has fallen to 38%, the lowest level since his return to the White House, due to Americans' dissatisfaction with his handling of the cost of living and the investigation into Epstein. The four-day poll, which concluded on Monday, also shows signs of weakening Trump’s control over the Republican Party. At the beginning of his second term, 47% of Americans approved of him. The nine-point drop since January brings his overall support rate close to the low point of his first term and near the lowest level achieved by his Democratic predecessor, Biden. Biden's support rate had fallen to as low as 35%, while Trump's support rate during his first term had dropped to 33%. Only 26% of Americans say Trump is doing a good job managing the cost of living, down from 29% earlier this month.

According to sources, inflation is too high and is moving in the wrong direction. The current unemployment rate is close to its highest level. This is a difficult time for monetary policy. Some inflation may be driven by tariffs, but service inflation is indeed concerning. The Fed's policy needs to maintain a certain degree of tightening to drop inflationary pressures. Tariffs are expected to raise the inflation rate before the beginning of next year. (Jin10)
