Other Economic Notes

Data integrity concerns escalated as BLS delayed January jobs report due to government shutdown, risking distorted Fed decisions.
Global trade tensions intensified with EU's 'Made in Europe' push against Chinese imports, straining supply chains.

Fed Watch

In a rate-cutting cycle, recent data like ISM's beat supports gradual easing, but Warsh's nomination leans hawkish, favoring fewer cuts in 2025.
Markets price only two rate reductions this year, likely post-June confirmation.
Powell's dovish tone contrasts with Warsh's tighter stance, heightening uncertainty.
