Volatility Alert! Tonight at 21:30, December Non-Farm Payrolls data and Supreme Court rulings will be released. Multiple pieces of news will be densely delivered, presenting both opportunities and risks. Please stay calm, avoid impulsive actions, and do not make decisions based solely on headline numbers.
Key Points: 1️⃣ After the data release, immediately focus on December's new employment and unemployment rate, and be sure to verify the revisions to previous figures (especially for October and November)—these often better reflect the true trend. 2️⃣ Beware of "expectation fulfillment": the market has already partially priced in weaker employment expectations. If the data only meets expectations, volatility may be limited; only unexpected results that significantly surpass or fall short of expectations may trigger intense market movements. 3️⃣ Risk management first, seize the "second wave of opportunities": in the initial moments after the data is released, the market often experiences short-term disorderly fluctuations due to algorithmic trading and emotional impacts. It is recommended to avoid the first few minutes, wait for the market to digest the information and clarify the direction before making moves.
