Strong ISM readings and solid ADP employment change reading painted a rosy picture of the US economy and boosted expectations of tomorrow’s NFP report. However, one more important reading from the US will be released earlier. Factory goods orders declined 0.8% MoM in July and a recovery is expected this time. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg suggest that total value of new orders place with manufacturers will increase 2.1% MoM in August reinforcing a solid outlook on the US economy.
3:00 pm BST - Canada, Ivey PMI for September. Ivey PMI is a closely watched manufacturing sector gauge in Canada. While the index experienced quite a steep decline at the beginning of the year it has well recovered since then. This time market consensus points for an advance from 61.9 pts to 62.3 pts. As all other PMIs this gauge is survey based therefore it tends to show signs of a change in the economy earlier than hard data. However, it should be noted that the improvement in moods resulting from new NAFTA deal will probably not visible until next month.
