All this is building up to the crescendo that is Friday’s U.S. employment report. Remember, it was the employment report released in early August that sparked a market selloff. Wall Street consensus estimates the August unemployment rate at 4.2%, according to FactSet data. If the unemployment rate comes in higher than expected, it could lead to a negative reaction by markets. But even if it doesn’t, investors still may still be on edge.

“Friday has all the makings of an exciting morning, as the market digests the August employment report heading into the September 17-18th FOMC meeting,” Joe Davis, Vanguard’s global chief economist, wrote in a note. “We expect headline job growth will be modestly encouraging, but acknowledge supply-driven volatility in the unemployment rate will likely decide the magnitude of September’s rate cut.”
