The regime signal has downgraded from AGGRESSIVE to NEUTRAL following the payroll miss, corroborated by a synchronized softening in services PMIs across China, France, the UK and India, but muted moves in the dollar and equities mean the market has not yet confirmed the labor shock as a genuine cyclical turn rather than a one-off print.
