Overnight, tech giants boosted the US stock market, and on February 2nd, the futures of the three major US stock indexes continued to rise, with Nasdaq 100 futures up more than 1%.
The US non-farm payroll data for January will be released tonight at 21:30. Economists generally believe that the labor market began to cool down in January, with an estimated 185,000 new non-farm jobs, lower than the 216,000 reported in December; the unemployment rate is expected to rise from 3.7% to 3.8%.
If the employment data exceeds expectations, it will echo the Federal Reserve's stance of &#34;not in a hurry to cut interest rates&#34; this week, which will continue to suppress expectations of rate cuts, benefiting the US dollar and putting pressure on gold and US stocks. Conversely, weaker-than-expected data will raise concerns about the economic outlook, stimulate expectations of rate cuts, and push gold and US stocks higher while putting pressure on the US dollar.
<h2>Futures of the three major US stock indexes rise together</h2>
