Summary of key data releases and policy statements in the US on January 9, related to Federal Reserve decisions and market trends

【Blockchain Rhythm】There are several important economic events on January 9th (Eastern Time) worth paying attention to.

First, at 8:30 AM Eastern Time, the Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the unemployment rate and non-farm payrolls data for December. These two data points are key indicators of the overall health of the U.S. economy and will also directly influence the Federal Reserve’s upcoming interest rate decisions—if the data falls short of expectations, the central bank may adjust its policy outlook.

At 10:00 AM, the U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on the legality of Trump’s tariff policies. Market speculation has suggested that if the court finds the tariffs unlawful, it could result in significant tariff refunds. However, such lawsuits typically take a long time to resolve, and refunds are unlikely to be immediate, so the impact on cash flow may not be as direct.

At 12:45 PM, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will deliver a speech. At 9:00 PM, Trump will also give a speech. These series of official statements are likely to influence market expectations.
