All eyes are on the US Nonfarm Payrolls report. Economists at MUFG Bank discuss how employment data could impact yields and the Dollar.
If today’s NFP data was to reveal an acceleration in payrolls it would certainly push further back the expectations on the timing of a downturn, reinforce the ‘higher for longer’ mantra and fuel renewed UST bond selling and Dollar buying.
An in-line print may be greeted with some relief that extends the correction in yields a little further lower from here which would allow the Dollar to adjust a little further weaker too.
The Fed’s Summary of Economic Projections in September revealed expectations of the labour market being stronger (unemployment rate revised down from 4.1% to 3.8% for Q4 2023 – the current level) which means any disappointment in the data like another jump in the unemployment rate has the potential to influence rate expectations that bit more.
