The US Chicago Fed National Activity Index (Employment, Unemployment, and Hours) fell to -0.02 in Q2 2026, dropping below the zero line and underperforming the previous Q1 value of 0.02. Although the overall economic index rebounded strongly driven by production, the cooling of the employment sub-index indicates that the labor market is normalizing. The market expects this stable state of "low hiring, low firing" will make the Federal Reserve's rate-cut path more cautious.
