📰 BullRun Weekly: Jobs, Rates, and Oil Heat Up

Fed Delays Rate Cuts: A blockbuster U.S. jobs report, with 256,000 new positions added in December, has pushed expectations for a Fed rate cut to October 2025. Average hourly earnings rose 3.9% year-over-year, keeping inflationary concerns alive and the Fed cautious. Stocks dropped as markets digested the news.

Canada Surprises with Jobs Surge: Canada’s economy added nearly 91K jobs in December, quelling expectations of a January rate cut. However, economic uncertainties, including U.S. tariff threats, linger.

Oil Rallies Amid Winter Demand: Crude prices jumped, marking three weeks of consecutive gains. Extreme winter conditions in the U.S. and Europe are driving up heating demand, with WTI closing at $77.73 per barrel.

Earnings Season Kicks Off: Major U.S. banks, including JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, report Q4 earnings next week, while Delta Air Lines impressed with strong demand-driven results.

Wildfire Fallout: Insurers face steep losses from California wildfires, with damages estimated up to $150 billion. Stocks in the sector, including Allstate and Travelers, dropped amid recovery concerns.

💡 What It Means for You? From Fed rate speculations to oil’s rally and labor market surprises, markets are primed for volatility. Keep an eye on earnings season and global economic trends to navigate these dynamic shifts!

📈 Trading Tip of the Week: Master the Art of Stop-Loss

Stop-loss orders are every trader's ultimate safeguard—a risk-management tool that automatically closes your position when the market moves against you. No need to panic-watch your trades anymore—stop-loss is here to save the day!

Why Use Stop-Loss Orders?

  • Limit Losses: Define your maximum acceptable loss upfront.

  • Reduce Emotional Stress: Let automation handle volatility while you stick to your strategy.

  • Preserve Capital: Prevent uncontrollable losses and keep your trading capital intact.

  • Stay Consistent: Maintain discipline and avoid impulsive decisions.

How It Works on BullRush

1️⃣ Place Your Trade: Enter your position—buy or sell—based on your strategy.
2️⃣ Set Your Stop-Loss: Head to the Pending Orders section to select your stop-loss level. For a Buy order, set a Sell Stop below the entry price.
3️⃣ Confirm and Review: Double-check your settings to ensure accuracy.
4️⃣ Adjust or Close Early: Adapt to market changes by tweaking your stop-loss or manually closing your trade.

Example: Buy EUR/USD at 1.0300 and set a stop-loss at 1.0249. If the price drops to 1.0249, your position closes automatically.
