The S&P 500 is trading near record levels this Wednesday morning, though activity remains subdued in the thin holiday session. Traders are keeping a close eye on fresh labor market data coming through—parsing every detail for hints about where the Federal Reserve might take interest rates next. With wage growth, employment figures, and jobless claims all in focus, the broader market sentiment hinges on what these numbers signal about the Fed's policy trajectory. Holiday volume might be light, but the stakes remain high for investors positioning ahead of the next policy decision.

Waiting again and again for Fed data, always messing around like this... During holidays, still thinking about policies, I really can't hold on anymore.

Once again, it's a holiday with reduced volume. At this time, analyzing the data becomes even more sensitive... Betting on whether the Fed is really about to take action.

Fake data is back again, waiting for the Fed to come with a wave of rate cut expectations... But speaking of which, who still trusts labor data now? Anyway, everyone is just blindly buying along with big funds.

It's the same old trick again. The market starts hyping itself up before the data even comes out. I really don't understand the thought process of these traders.

Fake data is everywhere, the Fed is trying to fool us again. Can we really tell anything from the holiday session's trading volume?

Fake data is everywhere, and you're just hoping this round of labor data can save the market? Laughable. No one can see through the Fed's move here.

Waiting for data again, it's always the same: wage growth, unemployment data, interest rate expectations... a cycle.
