The October employment report won’t be released until December… But here’s why that might actually be a good thing: Right now, the odds of a December rate cut are sitting at 85%. The only major factor that could drag those odds lower is strong labor market data. Strong labor market = No urgency for a rate cut. But since we won’t get any new employment numbers until December 10th which is after the Fed meeting... The December rate cut is basically a lock at this point.
