Macro News US jobs data significantly revised downwards to add only 911,000 jobs as of March. The US government said on Tuesday that over the past 12 months to March of this year, the US economy may have added 911,000 fewer jobs than previously estimated, indicating a slowdown in job growth before Trump implemented tough tariffs on imported goods. Economists had expected the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to revise down job levels by 400,000 to 1 million positions for the period April 2024 to March 2025. Earlier, job levels for April 2023 to March 2024 had already been revised down by 598,000 positions. This latest revision comes shortly after the news last Friday that job growth in August was nearly stagnant, with the first job decline in four and a half years in June. In addition to trade policy uncertainties, the labor market is also under pressure from the White House's strict immigration policies, weakening labor supply. Meanwhile, companies are turning to artificial intelligence tools and automation, suppressing demand for labor. Economists believe that the downward revision of job growth data will not have a significant impact on monetary policy. The Fed is expected to resume interest rate cuts next Wednesday, having paused the easing cycle in January due to uncertainty over tariffs.

The Supreme Court will expedite the case, with oral arguments scheduled for the first week of November. Judges also agreed to hear another challenge to Trump's tariffs brought by the toy company Learning Resources.
