\u201cWe have revised our forecast for April US NFP to 300K from 400K. Our forecasts for April Unemployment Rate and Average Hourly Earnings (MoM) remain the same at 3.5% and 0.4%, respectively.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe estimate NFP rose by 300K in April. We estimate a one-tenth drop in the unemployment rate to 3.5%, reflecting a solid or strong rise in household employment partially offset by another 0.1pp rise in labour force participation to 62.5%. While labour demand remains at elevated levels and dining activity has returned to normal, seasonally-adjusted job growth tends to slow during the spring hiring season when the labour market is tight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe look for payrolls to have stayed solid in April, posting a similar figure to that of March. Indeed, we pencil in a net job gain of 400K. We also look for average hourly earnings to have advanced 0.3% MoM (5.4% YoY) after 0.4% in March. A strong report could perversely push the market to price in more tightening as the Fed reduced its optionality at its most recent meeting. That leaves a resilient USD vs EUR and yen very much the path of least resistance. A softer wages print should help to temporarily take the edge off but this will be short-lived until evidence of a peak\/moderation in CPI emerges.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe see job creation of 425K positions with a stable unemployment rate at 3.6%.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe expect NFP to gain by 475K workers for April, modestly down from recent averages. We expect the unemployment rate to hold steady at 3.6% for April. Returning workers imply more labour available.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
