- May Nonfarm Payrolls due at 7:30 am CT.
- Headline job growth is expected at 325,000, after 428,000 jobs were added in April. Keep an eye on revisions after ADP whiffed yesterday and ISM Manufacturing’s Employment component contracted.
- Despite that ISM Manufacturing Employment contraction, 40,000 manufacturing jobs are expected to have been added. Interesting.
- Wage Growth is most critical though; expected to increase by 0.4% MoM and +5.2% YoY. A hot read here would be seen as ushering along a more hawkish path from the Fed.
- We do believe markets are pricing in underwhelming job growth due to ADP and ISM, but an awful read coupled with a sharp beat on Wage Growth could create a quick risk-off scenario.
- The Unemployment Rate is expected to dip to 3.5% from 3.6%
- ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI for May is due at 9:00 am CT, following final May SPGI Services PMI at 8:45 am CT.
- Fed Governor Brainard speaks at 9:30 am CT.
