U.S. January ADP employment increased by only 22,000, well below the expected 48,000, marking the lowest level since March 2024. Breakdown data shows manufacturing shed 8,000 jobs, professional/business services cut 57,000 jobs, while healthcare services became the main growth point. The cooling labor market has intensified market bets on the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates early, with CME tools showing a significant increase in the probability of a rate cut in June. As a result, international gold prices rebounded briefly, and the U.S. dollar index came under pressure. Due to a government shutdown delaying the release of official non-farm payroll data, the ADP report has become the most critical labor market indicator at present.
