“We do not expect to see the accident this month, probably not a month after that, but of course, the weight for the economy, not only from tariffs but also from uncertainty. This is as if tariff policy is a ghost in the fog,” the North said.

There are many views on Wall Street, from Goldman Sachs, which expects a salary growth below 110,000 wages to the Bank of America, looking for more than 150,000.

From there, investors will try to find out if the latest Fed Policy Nugs are being moved, and the markets are currently not expected to reduce interest rates by September.
