  • The labor market remains strong, and inflation has not decelerated as hoped, leading to a 'hawkish turn' in market expectations.
  • Rosenberg suggests the Fed is typically slow to move and may not be in a hurry to raise rates as aggressively as markets are pricing, especially given some 'one-offs' in the jobs report.
