According to BlockBeats, on September 6, AJ Bell Investment Director Russ Mould indicated that investors are feeling uneasy about the upcoming US nonfarm payroll data. The US stock futures opened weak, with the Nasdaq index falling by 1.2% and the VIX fear index rising. Over the past few months, the US nonfarm payroll data has caused significant disruptions in the stock market twice, and there may be more impacts this time. The market generally expects an increase of 160,000 new jobs in August, with the unemployment rate projected to decrease from 4.3% to 4.2%. Meanwhile, attention will also be on the revisions to historical data.
