Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 130,000 in January, and the unemployment rate changed little at 4.3 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Job gains occurred in health care, social assistance, and construction, while federal government and financial activities lost jobs. This news release presents statistics from two monthly surveys. The household survey measures labor force status, including unemployment, by demographic characteristics. The establishment survey measures nonfarm employment, hours, and earnings by industry. For more information about the concepts and statistical methodology used in these two surveys, see the Technical Note. 
U.S. payrolls rose by 130,000 in January, more than expected; unemployment rate at 4.3% Job growth was stronger than expected to start 2026, providing some relief to concerns about the state of the U.S. labor market. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 130,000 for January, above the Dow Jones consensus estimate for 55,000, according to seasonally adjusted figures the Bureau of Labor Statistics released Wednesday. The total also was an improvement over December, which saw a gain of 48,000 after a slight downward revision. The unemployment rate edged lower to 4.3%, below the forecast to stay unchanged at 4.4% from the prior month. The report, delayed nearly a week by the partial government shutdown that ended Feb. 3, held consistent with a US LABOR DEPARTMENT PAYROLLS BENCHMARK REVISIONS: THE SEASONALLY ADJUSTED NONFARM EMPLOYMENT LEVEL FOR MARCH 2025 WAS REVISED DOWNWARD BY 898,000 ...

The 10-year Treasury yield moved higher in reaction to January job growth that was more than double what Wall Street economists had expected.

Trump, Xi Expected To Extend Trade Truce At Beijing Summit - SCMP SCMP: Trump and Xi to extend trade truce at April Beijing summit US and Chinese officials are expected to use an early-April Beijing summit between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping to extend the bilateral trade truce reached in South Korea last year, according to the South China Morning Post. The report says policymakers are discussing rolling back some tariffs and export controls for up to a year, building on the October Busan understanding that eased a period of escalating tit-for-tat measures. The October truce was struck after months of intensifying trade conflict that included triple-digit retaliatory tariffs and a broad Chinese boycott of US agricultural goods for much of 2025, SCMP reports. Since the reprieve, China has resumed purchases of American soybeans — a politically important US crop — and additional near-term purchase commitments are said to be central to what officials see as a realistic, “bankable” summit outcome. For Washington, deliverables matter. The SCMP report frames the talks as an attempt to stabilise economic ties and deliver short-term wins ahead of the US midterm elections in November, with Trump under pressure to show progress while managing broader strategic tensions. Trump has publicly flagged soybean buying as a potential outcome following a recent call with Xi, aligning with the idea that Beijing may lean on commodity purchases as a relatively low-friction confidence-building tool. Operationally, SCMP says preparations point to an early-April trip, with March 31 cited as an initial arrival date under consideration and a bilateral meeting in the first week of April as part of a visit lasting about three days. If the extension is agreed, markets are likely to read it as a volatility dampener near term — but not a full reset — given the truce appears informal and subject to political timelines on both sides.
