A stronger-than-anticipated increase in US jobs drove stocks and short-dated bonds lower, with traders boosting their bets the Federal Reserve will raise rates this month. While analysts expect the September Fed decision will hinge on next week’s inflation data, swap contracts priced in an over 50% chance of a hike. Anna Wong, Chief US Economist at Bloomberg Economics, and Constance Hunter, Chief Economist and Head of Research at Economist Enterprise, join to discuss. Plus, Bloomberg News White House & Washington Correspondent Jeff Mason discusses President Trump's reaction to the payrolls report and his announcement that he will allow ranchers to process their own beef. Finally, Poonam Goyal, Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Analyst for E-Commerce and Retail, breaks down Lululemon's weaker-than-expected earnings report, with shares of the athleisure company falling close to 19% to their lowest level since May 2018.
