Beijing time tonight at 9:30 PM, the U.S. Department of Labor will release the December non-farm employment data, coinciding with the Supreme Court's ruling on Trump's tariffs policy. Two major events happening simultaneously, the market will have to tremble for anyone involved.



Let's start with employment. The market forecasts that December's new jobs will be between 60,000 and 73,000, slightly better than November's 64,000, and the unemployment rate could drop from 4.6% to 4.5%. The numbers look decent, but frankly, a lot of this is seasonal temporary workers filling in, and the actual hiring demand isn't that strong. The ADP private sector employment data released a few days ago showed an increase of only 41,000 jobs, below expectations, indicating that companies are still quite cautious about hiring.

How this data turns out will directly influence the market's expectations for the Federal Reserve's next move. If tonight's non-farm report shows a soft landing with weak employment data, the expectation for rate cuts will rise immediately, giving risk assets a breather; conversely, if the data surprises strongly on the upside, the timetable for rate cuts will be pushed back, and market pressure will increase. The most ideal scenario is a balanced report—neither too strong nor too weak.

Apart from employment, the tariff ruling is also a big variable. If the court rejects the tariffs policy, companies and consumers relying on imports will benefit in the short term, but the White House surely has other plans, and long-term uncertainty will still linger. The outcome of these two events combined will determine tonight's performance of the stock, bond, and forex markets, with the potential for significant changes in their gains and losses.

Honestly, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. It is recommended that everyone manage their positions well, prioritize risk control, observe the market carefully, but don't let emotions take over.

Oh no, tonight is another explosive night, with non-farm payrolls and tariffs hitting hard together. I can't handle my heart.

Really, tonight these two bombs dropping together, everyone will panic --- The non-farm payrolls are so weak, only 41,000 for ADP, companies are really tightening --- Hard landing or soft landing, it all depends on how the Federal Reserve performs --- As for tariffs, no matter how the court rules, it's still hanging in the balance in the long run --- Let's wait and see, maybe tonight all stocks, bonds, and currencies will move in opposite directions --- Position management must come first, don't follow the market blindly and mess around --- Unbiased data is the safest, but can we really encounter it? --- If these two issues really hit together, the market might start to stir on Friday --- Companies are cautious in hiring, this signal is actually quite clear, not so optimistic --- If the tariff ruling is really overturned, it’s good in the short term, but chaos will follow

Non-farm + tariffs double whammy, tonight's definitely going to explode. --- ADP is only 41,000, honestly companies aren't hiring at all, there's a lot of false data. --- The key still depends on what the Federal Reserve thinks; rate cuts are far off. --- If the court really overturns the tariff policy, Trump will lose his temper, anyway he can't win. --- Stocks, bonds, and forex all depend on these two data points tonight; stay calm. --- Another sleepless night, my positions are really risky. --- Really can't see through this market, feels like rate cuts are unlikely.

Medical records show that this time two major events occurred simultaneously, a typical manifestation of complications. The non-farm payroll data had already shown signs, with only 41,000 ADP jobs, indicating that corporate hiring health indicators are already deteriorating. Now, the widespread use of temporary workers is like giving patients steroids to boost numbers; the data looks good, but the body isn't actually healthy. The tariff ruling is even more troublesome—short-term benefits but long-term hidden dangers. This kind of uncertainty is the most deadly poison for asset allocation. In simple terms, as long as one of these two events exceeds expectations, the entire market liquidity pattern will have to be reshuffled. It is recommended that everyone review their risk exposure so they won't be caught off guard when the market moves at 10 p.m.
