084 – Jobs data suggests slowdown but not enough to change Fed policy
The non-farm employment change published at 209K. This was lower than the 224K expected and lower than the last print at 306K. These are signs of cooling down, but the job market remains overall strong. The Fed minutes were released last Wednesday but did not give us any new information and a 25-bps hike is still likely at the Fed’s next meeting. This week UK jobs data showed high average earnings, which will be a concern to the Bank of England. Later in the week we get US inflation
data and Q2 earnings is set to kick off with the big banks’ earnings and Delta airlines. We also see central bank releases from the Reserve Bank of New
Zealand and the Bank of Canada.
