On June 6, 2025 (local time), the U.S. Department of Labor announced that new non-farm employment increased by 139,000 in May. This figure exceeds the market expectation of 126,000, indicating that the employment market continues to show a solid trend.

Meanwhile, the unemployment rate in May matched the market forecast at 4.2%. Strong employment indicators are also being interpreted as possibly hindering the Federal Reserve's outlook on interest rate cuts.
