What we know

  • The figures: 165,000 jobs added, unemployment at 4.1%, August and September revised up by a combined 84,000, hourly earnings up 0.4% to $38.00.
  • Nasdaq-100 futures were already up over 1.4% more than an hour before the release, so that gain is not a reaction to it.
  • Where the tracked whales stand in these markets right now (below, with the time of each number).

What we don’t know yet

  • Whether the Fed raises rates on 9 December. Bets on a hike stood at about 78% after the release, as Reuters reports.

Trade timing alone says nothing about what a trader knew. Many traders position before scheduled events. Times are when a move was first seen on Hyperliquid and when a report was first published.
