Data released last week for the U.S. economy shows that the labor market is gradually slowing down. However, while the job count declined from the prior month, the March report was still strong overall.

The jobs report, while delivering some good news on the inflation front, could be just enough to prompt the Fed to raise the fed funds rate by an additional 25bps in their next meeting in May.
