THINK Ahead：美国就业报告与欧元区通胀数据
Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
The September US jobs report, due Friday, is expected to show roughly 100k jobs added with unemployment holding at 4.1%, leaving an October Fed rate hike in play, with a downward revision to August also anticipated. Eurozone inflation data will be watched for second-round effects, as core inflation remains at 2.4%, the same as before the Middle East war started.

Key arguments
- The September US jobs report will largely determine whether the Fed raises rates in October, with markets currently pricing an October hike as more likely than not.
- Given the low-hire, low-fire narrative, August's stronger-than-expected jobs number is expected to be revised down, with September at around 100k jobs added.
- Eurozone inflation is still driven mainly by energy prices, but core inflation at 2.4% in both February and August keeps attention on second-round effects.
- September US inflation, due 14 October, is the next key data release after the jobs report.
Key numbers
- Expected September US jobs added
- 100k
- Expected US unemployment rate
- 4.1%
- Eurozone core inflation (February and August)
- 2.4%
- US September CPI release date
- October 14
Main risks
- If the September US jobs report surprises significantly from the expected 100k, the October Fed rate decision could shift.
- Eurozone core inflation showing signs of second-round effects could alter the inflation outlook.
- The August US jobs report may be revised down, potentially weakening the case for an October rate hike.
Corresponding source evidence
There are two key reports that will largely determine what the Fed decides to do, with the first – the September jobs report – due on Friday.
Given that the low-hire, low-fire narrative remains in place, we expect a downward revision to that August number, with September coming in at around 100k jobs added.
The unemployment rate is expected to hold at 4.1%.
