Traders Pivot to 'Super Friday': NFP and Supreme Court Tariff Ruling to Decide USD Path

While headlines are dominated by the regime change in Venezuela and tensions in Greenland, the U.S. Treasury market is telling a different story: Economics trumps Geopolitics. Yields remain largely rangebound as institutional capital hunkers down for a “Super Friday” that could redefine the Federal Reserve's 2026 easing trajectory.

Fridays Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report is being touted by strategists at Natixis and CreditSights as the first “clean” economic read in months, free from the distortions of recent government shutdowns.

The Tariff Wildcard

Beyond the labor data, Friday brings a high-stakes Supreme Court decision regarding the legality of President Trump's global tariff policies.
