The unemployment rate witnessed a marginal hike in the September quarter, from 4.6% to 4.8%, which fell below the financial market’s expectation of a 5% increment. Brad Olsen, Infometrics CEO and Principal Economist, pointed out that even though these statistics are promising, there still exist numerous challenges that need to be navigated. Olsen posits that this change does not impact the possibility of a 75 basis point cut, but it certainly acts as a significant deterrent.
