President Trump inadvertently shared U.S. jobs data on social media a day before the official release, causing the White House to review its data release protocols.

Although some investors could have acted on Trump’s post, market reactions were minimal as they awaited the full report. Experts stress that leaks can undermine investor confidence in economic data confidentiality.
