Surprising Reactions to September 2023’s US Nonfarm Payrolls Report

September non-farm payroll's headline print showed that the US economy added 336k jobs against a consensus estimate by economists of only 170k, a spectacular miss which prompted a precipitous market reaction across virtually all asset classes. Equities quickly sold off along with rates, particularly for longer dated bonds.
