‘Soft landing’ jobs report.
A +0.8% day is a solid-green day.
By design it moves exactly like the S&P — same ±0.7% typical day.
When US inflation surprises lower, what actually happens?
Across the soft-CPI surprises since 2023, the S&P rose the same session about 7 times in 10, the 10-year yield fell almost every time, and the dollar weakened. The reaction is real — and it's usually spent within a day or two as the cut-odds reprice.
