MARKETS "OBSESSING" OVER JOBS DATA
The first Friday of the month can only mean one thing: U.S. jobs data. As has been customary recently, investors are watching the numbers closely for hints on how quickly the Fed is expected to lower interest rates.
"We head into today's monthly U.S. jobs report with market participants obsessing over the outcome," says Mark Dowding, BlueBay Asset Management's chief investment officer.
Dowding says a net gain of fewer than 50,000 jobs and a rise in the unemployment rate to 4.4% could push the Fed to a more aggressive rate cut in November.
On the other hand, a net increase of 200,000 and a decline in the unemployment rate might put a "bigger question mark over the path of future cuts," Dowding says.
As markets price close to 200 basis points of cuts by the end of next year, Dowding favours a short duration stance in the U.S..
"We have believed that short-term Fed futures discount too much monetary easing, on the basis that we think economic data is set to remain firm for the time being," he says.
More broadly, Dowding thinks it's difficult to be too bullish on fixed income yields.
"We would think that a further rally from here would require the US economy to slow to a point which would require monetary policy to move to an accommodative stance, which still looks a long way off to us."
The benchmark U.S. 10-year yield US10YT=RR fell to 3.599% last month, its lowest since May last year.
Germany's 10-year yield DE10YT=RR, the euro zone's benchmark, dropped to its lowest since January on Tuesday.
Back to today's data and economists surveyed by Reuters expect the U.S. to have added 140,000 jobs last month, with the unemployment rate seen steady at 4.2%.
Goldman Sachs analysts are expecting an above-consensus 165,000 jobs to have been added.
"Big data indicators generally indicate a solid pace of job growth, and seasonal distortions likely weighed on the last two payrolls readings," they say.
