Traders now see little chance of a Fed rate hike in October after weak jobs report

In the middle of the trading session on October 2, 2026, central bank signals are shaping investor behaviour across asset classes. Interest rate guidance is one of the most influential forces on investment returns expectations, and our members stay informed to time their portfolio decisions effectively. CNBC reports: "Odds tumbled after a jobs report showed a soft labor market, leading more traders to lower the the chances of a fed funds rate increase this month."
