Key Quotes
“We expect a 225K gain and a drop to 5% in the unemployment rate. There’s nothing much wrong with the domestic US economy – GDP grew at a 3.9% annualised rate in Q2, employment growth is a bit above 2% per annum, and wage growth also a bit above 2% per annum, which represents an acceleration in real terms as inflation has slowed.”
“By the time we get there we will have seen the September manufacturing ISM (against a dismal global backdrop for manufacturing confidence look for a dip to 50.4) and it’s hard to imagine a sufficiently strong set of data overall to offset concerns at the FOMC about the global environment.”
