Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
CNBC Markets Editor Patti Domm said this evening something akin to points we’ve made in recent weeks. “November’s jobs report Friday should show a strong pace of hiring in a solid underlying economy, a stark contrast to some of the worst fears in financial markets this week.”
“Sliding bond yields and falling equity prices have helped fan worries that the real economy is going to stall out and head for a recession. But economists, looking at the strength in the labor market among other indicators, have seen little chance of a recession before 2020, though they do see economic growth slowing to just under 2.5 percent in 2019,” Domm said today.
- “Economists expect the economy added 200,000 payrolls in November, reflecting a strong job market and healthy hiring — even as markets are fearful of a slowing economy and even recession.” Unemployment should hold at about 3.7 percent.
- “Economists expect even lower unemployment in months to come. November hourly wages were expected to be up 0.3 percent, or 3.1 percent on an annual basis,” she said.
- “My guess is we’re going to get something just a little above trend because of the fact that retail hiring is going to be good, with all the reports of stores hiring more aggressively than they have in years,” said Stephen Stanley, chief economist at Amherst Pierpont.
“The Treasury curve has been ‘flattening’ and on Monday, part of the curve between the 2-year and 3-year” while the 5-year actually inverted. The 5-year yield being lower is thought to be a recession indicator.
“I think the movement in the market just kind of exaggerated the degree to which things have changed in the economic outlook…I see it more of a market story than an economic story,” said Stanley.
Markets and investors crave certainty. But the uncertainty is arguably artificial. It’s headlines that are driving wild swings, be it the arrest of Huawei’s CFO, worries over a long-overdue righting of the trade issues with China, or Fed Chairman Powell saying that rate hikes could mitigate.
