The most important publication of today, and indeed the entire week, will be the US labor market report, set to be released at 1:30 PM GMT today.
Analysts' expectations suggest an increase in employment change to 202k, alongside a rise in the unemployment rate to 4.2%. Hourly wages are expected to decline to 0.3% month-over-month (compared to 0.4% m/m previously) and 3.9% year-over-year (from 4.0% y/y previously). The increase in employment expectations confirms that the recent drop to 12k in October may indeed have been caused by one-off factors, such as hurricanes. The NFP report expectations theoretically support further Fed rate cuts due to reduced wage pressure and a slight rise in the unemployment rate.
