MNI US Payrolls Preview: Establishment vs Household Surveys

Executive Summary

  • Bloomberg consensus sees payrolls growth of 225k in June after May’s large beat of 339k, with the primary dealer survey pointing to modest upside risk. Watch revisions to see whether that pace is maintained.
  • AHE is seen increasing 0.3% M/M for the second month with unusually uniform analyst expectations – a surprise in either direction here should offer a clean read.
  • In the separate household survey, the u/e rate is seen ticking a tenth lower on rounding to 3.6% (close either way after May’s unrounded 3.655%) after it jumped 0.3pps in May.
  • Along with Wednesday’s CPI, it’s the last major release before the Jul 26 FOMC. The first look at Q2 GDP plus the Q2 ECI and monthly PCE data for June all land 1-2days after the decision.
  • The market is pricing a 21-22bp hike for the July 26 decision whilst not yet being won over by the FOMC’s median dot of two hikes from current levels, with a November terminal currently at a cumulative +34bps.
