Repeats Story Initially Transmitted at 22:40 GMT Sep 30/18:40 EST Sep 30
CHICAGO (MNI) - ISM, Construction Spending, Motor Vehicle Sales data kicks
off the fourth quarter of 2018 early Monday/Tuesday, early Wednesday's ADP
private employment may give some insight ahead Friday's headline September
employment data.
October will likely be an active month for trade, usually the case with
markets slowing down ahead Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, not to mention
position wind-up or -down as the case may be, ahead U.S. midterm elections on
Tuesday, November 6.
The Federal Reserve is now comfortably out of their media blackout period
after the FOMC raised the target range for the federal funds rate last week by
25bp, to 2.00%-2.25%, multiple Fed speakers are now on the calendar in the week
ahead.
Crowding the midweek Fed speaker engagements: Fed VC Randal Quarles,
Chicago Fed President Charles Evans, Philly Fed President Patrick Harker, Fed
Board of Governors member Lael Brainard, Clev Fed President Loretta Mester and
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell.
TD Securities posited "that hawkish rhetoric from some of the speakers
could help offset some of the recent steepening of the curve."
Meanwhile, headlines regarding U.S. trade policy, Italian budget crisis, as
well as political mudslinging (unfortunately) remain in short and long-term
focus as they continue to roil markets.
Data highlights (estimates):
- Monday: September ISM (60.0) and Construction Spending (0.5%).
TD Securities economists said the ISM data "will be interesting to watch
for signs of weakness following the Trump administration's implementation of
$200bn in additional tariffs on Chinese imports. While the report has yet to
reflect outright weakness due to tariffs, many companies had noted that tariffs
remain a key source of concern."
Nomura economists estimate a "modest 2.3pp decline in the ISM manufacturing
index to 59.0 in September considering heightened trade concerns and ongoing
capacity constraints."
- Tuesday: North American made motor vehicle sales will roll out through the
session. RBS NatWest economists estimate a modest rebound in total light vehicle
sales in September to 16.8m saar from 16.6m in August.
- Wednesday: September ADP private payrolls (185k). Nomura economists "expect
ADP a report 175k gain in private employment during September". On Thursday's
weekly claims, Nomura said "Low initial and continuing jobless claims remain
consistent with labor market strength. However, potential business disruptions
from Hurricane Florence on the southeast coast could result in temporary spikes
in claims in coming weeks."
- Friday: September nonfarm payrolls (193k) vs. whisper number around 201k.
TD Securities expects the September employ number "to rise 180k, but
highlight the risk of a downside surprise in headline payrolls due to the impact
of Hurricane Florence."
JP Morgan economists posit Hurricane Florence's impact on the data "will be
modest and not very easy to detect in the aggregate national data, subtracting
something in the ballpark of 25,000 from monthly payrolls." JP Morgan estimate
an increase of 175,000 jobs for September while August data stands a "good
chance" of being mildly up-revised.
