THIS WEEK'S LABOR DATA STARTS WITH A JOLT
On Tuesday, investors were treated to the first bit of jobs data in a holiday-truncated week that's back-end loaded with the stuff.
The number of unfilled American jobs stumped analysts by growing 2.8% to 8.140 million in May, instead of easing to 7.910 million as expected.
The increase in unanswered worker demand appears to contradict signs of softening in the jobs market, which is considered by Powell & Co to be prerequisite to putting inflation on track for the Fed's 2% goal.
"As long as the job market is stable, the soft landing narrative appears likely as consumers will have some capacity to spend," writes Jeffrey Roach, chief economist at LPL Financial.
"However, a strong labor market will make the Fed’s job more difficult in their efforts to get inflation closer to their 2% target," Roach adds.
At any rate, the uptick in vacant jobs corresponds well with the National Federation of Independent Business' (NFIB) May report, in which an increased percentage of survey participants reported at least one open and hard-to-fill position:
The Labor Department's Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) USJOLT=ECI, which tracks U.S. labor market churn, also showed hiring and firing ramping up, with the quit rate - viewed as a proxy indicator of consumer expectations - held firm.
More recent weekly continuing jobless claims data hints at the possibility that May's hiring increase might have been a glitch rather than a trend, and failed to carry over into June:
On Wednesday, in order to accommodate the July 4th holiday, a rush of indicators - including Challenger Gray, ADP and weekly jobless claims - are expected to set the stage for Friday's main event, the June employment report.
Analysts expect the U.S. economy added 190,000 jobs last month, marking a 30.1% deceleration from May's blowout 272,000.
That would mark the fifth month over the last 12 that payrolls increased by fewer than 200,000. Still, more often than not, payrolls surprise to the upside:
The unemployment rate is seen standing pat at 4%, while consensus calls for average hourly wages to cool down on both monthly and annual bases, to 0.3% and 3.9%, respectively.
