Wall Street sees bigger 2024 Fed easing after soft jobs report
Aug 2 (Reuters) -A surprisingly weak U.S. employment report for June has turned Wall Street confidence on a soft landing into near panic that a recession is looming, prompting major firms to change forecasts for Federal Reserve easing this year to more aggressive interest rate cutting.
Employers added just 114,000 jobs in July, the U.S. Labor Department reported on Friday, and the unemployment rate rose to 4.3%, from 4.1% in June, marking an unexpected deterioration in a labor market that had held up surprisingly well during the Federal Reserve's aggressive rate-hike campaign in 2022 and 2023.
The data prompted futures traders to pile into bets that the Fed will deliver a half-percentage-point rate cut at its Sept. 17-18 meeting, having priced in only 25 basis points for September before the jobs data.
Fed funds futures 0#FF: show the policy rate is expected to end 2024 in the 4.00%-4.25% range from the current 5.25%-5.50% where it has been since July 2023.
The three main U.S. stock indexes tumbled 2% or more and investors moved into safe-haven Treasuries, pushing yields sharply lower.

BOFA GLOBAL RESEARCH - Expects Fed to start cutting interest rates in September by 25 basis points vs December expected earlier. Sees rate cuts in September and December this year
