UBS believes that Powell has not ruled out the possibility of a rate cut in January, as his concerns about the labor market have surpassed his worries about rising inflation. If this week's data confirms that the labor market remains weak (the key is whether the unemployment rate rises to 4.5%) while inflationary pressures are manageable, the FOMC may reconsider a more accommodative policy stance. The non-farm payroll reports for October and November will be released this Tuesday, and CPI data will be announced on Thursday

- The market interpreted Powell's statements after the December meeting as hawkish, but UBS suggests this may be an overreaction, with upcoming employment and CPI data crucial for assessing potential rate cuts in January.  
- UBS forecasts a decline in October non-farm payrolls by 20,000 and an increase of 45,000 in November, with the unemployment rate possibly rising to 4.5%, indicating a cooling labor market.  
- Powell emphasized the need for careful evaluation of data affected by the government shutdown, suggesting that while inflation risks are present, the focus remains on labor market conditions.
