MNI Employment Insight, Nov'22: Supply Limitations Keep Pressure On Fed

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

  • Labour data for October were mixed, with payrolls coming in stronger than expected but the u/e rate rising more than expected.
  • However, still strong jobs growth at this stage of the cycle and tight household survey metrics (u/e rate close to historical lows, participation rates trending sideways) keep the onus on the Fed to keep hiking aggressively.
  • The dial moves more in favour of a guided 50bp hike instead of a fifth 75bp in Dec (56.5bp priced), although as former Richmond Fed research director tells MNI, the Fed could be set for a lively debate.
  • Thursday’s CPI report for October will be pivotal in the near-term although we still have November reports for both payrolls and CPI before the Dec FOMC (only just for CPI, Dec 13 vs Dec 14 decision).
