Chart of the Week: Labor Resilience

The labor market appears to be improving, as evidenced by May’s stronger-than-expected jobs report. The print underscores resilience that could keep the Fed on hold longer than we previously expected. As a result, we have pushed back our forecast for the final two rate cuts to 2027, consistent with a slower disinflation path, while still viewing hikes as unlikely and maintaining a 3.00-3.25% terminal rate. In this environment, rate volatility may persist as new data arrives, underscoring the need to stay dynamic within fixed income portfolios.
