#密码资产动态追踪 ⚡ This Friday, two major events collide — non-farm payroll data and tariff rulings, and Wall Street is likely to experience a day of ups and downs.
The most watched is the 21:30 non-farm report. The market expects an increase of 60,000 jobs and an unemployment rate of 4.5%, which is the so-called "just right" — it neither suppresses rate cut expectations due to overheating nor triggers recession fears due to weakness. Any deviation from this range could trigger a wave of stock and bond volatility.
Even more concerning is valuation pressure. The S&P 500's price-to-earnings ratio has already surged to 22 times, a level last seen at the peak of 2022. At this height, the margin for error is almost zero, and any bad news will be amplified.
The suspense over the tariff case is equally intense. The Supreme Court may rule on the fate of Trump's tariff policies at 10:00 AM on Friday. Polymarket shows only a 24% chance of maintaining the original ruling, with a 76% chance of overturning it. If tariffs are indeed canceled, the $133 billion in revenue will become void, and the government deficit will widen again, directly impacting U.S. Treasury yields.
Conversely, large retail companies like Walmart and Costco have already been seeking compensation. If they win, the real cash benefits will flow to these companies. At that point, the dollar may weaken, the U.S. Treasury yield curve could steepen, and the Fed's rationale for rate cuts will strengthen.
Interestingly, the market appears calm on the surface, but the VIX has quietly risen to 15.5, and implied volatility of options has reached ±0.9%. Analysts are all saying the same thing: surface calm, but undercurrents are surging.
So, the direction on Friday depends on these two events — if tariffs are retained, it could trigger a rally; if tariffs are canceled, it will play out as "bad news fully priced in." Assets like $ZEC and $DASH will also fluctuate with changes in market risk appetite. The most dangerous day on Wall Street will be revealed on Friday.
