Economic Calendar
The first Friday of a new month is upon us, that means the official Employment Situation Report is just ahead. Because this data provides an in-depth look at the health of the driving force behind consumer spending, the labor market, investing sentiment is highly dependent on the findings of the two surveys that make up the Employment Situation Report: Non-Farm Payrolls and the Household Survey. With that in mind, leading up to the release the market will likely be hesitant to head too far in either direction without adequate confirmation and acceptance of that move.
From Reuters: U.S. August payrolls and unemployment data on Friday. Payrolls are forecast to have fallen by about 99,000, according to Reuters polling, a smaller fall than the 131,000 in July. After the recession of 2008, payrolls began growing again in October 2009 but since May they have been falling again as the government laid off temporary workers hired for the census. Private payrolls are seen rising by about 40,000, down from a rise of 70,000 last month. The unemployment rate is expected to edge up to 9.6 percent from 9.5 percent last month.
While the official Employment Situation Report is the most anticipated event of the week, the economic calendar is filled with several potential market movers including three reports on housing and the minutes of the August 10th FOMC meeting. Below is the full schedule of economic indicators to be released in the week ahead.
