Mars Finance News, the closely watched US non-farm payroll data for November this week was better than expected, but not hot enough to prevent the Federal Reserve from cutting interest rates again later this month. The market has raised the probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut in December to around 90%. At the same time, more and more Fed officials are inclined to be cautious about rate cuts. The US inflation data next week is the only important data that could shake the Fed's expectation of a rate cut in December. After the data showed that the US labor market remains strong but also has signs of slowing, Fed officials seem likely to cut rates this month, but the debate on possibly pausing rate cuts next year has already been put on the table. Policymakers who spoke before the Fed's silent period generally said they expect interest rates to continue to decline, while taking a cautious approach to the pace of rate cuts. The key points that the market will focus on in the new week are: Monday 9:30, China's CPI year-on-year for November; Monday 23:00, US wholesale sales month-on-month for October; Tuesday 0:00, US New York Fed 1-year inflation expectation for November; Wednesday 21:30, US CPI and core CPI for November; Thursday 21:30, US initial jobless claims for the week ending December 7, US PPI year-on-year and month-on-month for November; Friday 1:00, the Fed releases the flow of funds for the third quarter of 2024; Friday 21:30, US import price index month-on-month for November.
