US DATA PREVIEW
US DATA PREVIEW: Barclays economists estimate nonfarm payrolls to increase "200k
in February, driven by a 180k increase in the private payroll component. We
expect payroll growth to fall back close to its recovery average after the
strong January increase. We forecast the unemployment rate will decline one
tenth to 3.9%. The government shutdown caused a small rise in the unemployment
rate in January and we expect it to be reversed with this report. Elsewhere, we
forecast average hourly earnings to have increased 0.3% m/m and 3.3% y/y. We
expect average weekly hours at 34.5."
