The ADP report came out in the US session and was the highest since June, but was tempered by lower revisions. 200k was recorded vs 195k expected and 186k prev and leaves expectations for the Nonfarm Payrolls somewhere in the region of above 200k which would support the case for the Fed hiking rates before the year is out.
