Analyst Anstey's quick review of the US non-farm payroll report: November's non-farm payroll data slightly exceeded expectations, recording 64,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate unexpectedly rose to 4.6% in November, which may attract the attention of the Federal Reserve. However, the labor force participation rate increased, so the rise in the unemployment rate may not be entirely bad news; we still need to examine the specific data more closely. US stock index futures rose, and the two-year US Treasury yield fell—based on the weak performance of non-farm payroll data in recent months, market expectations for further monetary easing by the Federal Reserve have increased. It should be noted that the data for August and September were also revised down by a combined 33,000.
