★U.S. payrolls unexpectedly fell by 92,000 in February; unemployment rate rises to 4.4%
Strategic Analysis // Ian Gross
"This unexpected decline in payrolls fundamentally shifts the Fed's hawkish posture, signaling potential rate cuts sooner than anticipated and repricing fixed income across the curve. Capital flows will likely pivot towards duration and away from cyclical equities, impacting sector rotation and risk-on/risk-off sentiment as recession probabilities rise."
