US Non-Farm Payrolls (Dec 2025) released Jan 9, 2026: +50K jobs added (below 60-70K exp, vs revised +56K prior), unemployment rate drops to 4.4% (from 4.6%), average hourly earnings +0.3% MoM to $37.02. Revisions cut 76K from Oct/Nov, highlighting softer hiring trend amid annual slowdown (49K avg monthly in 2025 vs 168K in 2024). Key sectors: Gains in food services (+27K), health care (+21K); losses in retail (-25K). Markets react mixed but positive – USD rallies on stable data, stocks rise (Nasdaq +1%), calming labor fears. For crypto: Weaker print could fuel dovish Fed bets, boosting risk assets like BTC if rate cuts loom. Short-term outlook: Cautiously bullish for equities/crypto amid policy watch. #NFP #USEconomy #JobsReport
