In September, the ADP National Employment Report revealed that the private sector in the United States had added 89,000 jobs, while annual pay had witnessed a substantial year-over-year increase of 5.9%. This comprehensive report, developed in collaboration with the Stanford Digital Economy Lab by the ADP Research Institute, provided a deep dive into the state of the private-sector labor market. Drawing from anonymized payroll data from over 25 million American employees, it offered an up-to-date, high-frequency perspective on employment trends in the U.S. This report included data on total private employment changes for the current month and weekly job data from the prior month, making it a valuable resource for analyzing labor market dynamics. Unique to ADP, its pay measure offered insights into the earnings of nearly 10 million employees over a 12-month period, providing an in-depth view of compensation trends.

Their assessments provide up-to-the-minute and pertinent information about a company’s outlook on the economy, making this announcement a vital gauge of economic health. In September 2023, the ISM Manufacturing PMI in the United States increased to 49 from the previous month's 47.6, surpassing market expectations of 47.8. This improvement marked the slowest contraction in the US manufacturing sector in ten months. Despite the ongoing slowdown, the data indicated nearly a year of consecutive monthly contractions in US factory activity, mainly influenced by the Federal Reserve's higher borrowing costs. New orders, while declining for the 13th consecutive month, did so at a notably slower rate due to changing supply chain dynamics, prompting customers to initiate more projects. As a result, production saw a significant rebound from August's stagnation, reaching its highest point since July 2022, aided by the rapid reduction of backlogs. Employment also displayed strength, bouncing back after three periods of contraction. Furthermore, the decline in prices persisted for the fifth consecutive month, raising optimism about improved profit margins for manufacturers.

In August 2023, the number of job openings surged by 690,000 compared to the previous month, reaching 9.61 million.

At the Economic Club of New York, Fed Chair Powell discussed the Fed's cautious approach, stating that policymakers had determined the extent of additional policy tightening and the duration of policy restrictions based on incoming data, evolving outlook, and risk assessment. Powell noted that the tight policy had a dampening effect on economic activity and inflation. While further evidence of sustained above-trend growth or labor market tightness no longer easing could jeopardize progress on inflation, potentially requiring additional tightening of monetary policy. Powell also acknowledged that inflation remained elevated, and achieving the 2% inflation goal might entail a period of below-trend growth and some labor market softening. In the September 2023 meeting, the Fed had maintained the federal funds rate target range at a 22-year high of 5.25%-5.5% [B]TL;DR[/B] [ATTACH type="full"]25805[/ATTACH] The upcoming Federal Funds Rate decision is scheduled for Wednesday, November 1, 2023, at 6:00 PM GMT+1.

[automerge]1698417326[/automerge] [HEADING=1] [Right]02 November 2023[/Right][/HEADING] [Right]Thursday[/Right] [Heading=2]On Thursday, November 2, 2023, the market anticipates significant high-impact announcements. Switzerland will release its Consumer Price Index month-on-month (CPI m/m), the UK is scheduled to make an announcement regarding its Official Bank Rate, and the US will unveil its unemployment claims data. These events are likely to have a notable impact on market dynamics.[/Heading] [B][U][Center]CHF - CPI m/m[/Center][/U][/B] Consumer prices play a significant role in the overall inflation, and inflation holds a crucial position in currency valuation as escalating prices prompt the central bank to increase interest rates in line with their mandate to control inflation. On October 3, 2023, the Federal Statistical Office (FSO) reported that the consumer price index (CPI) experienced a 0.1% decrease in September 2023 compared to the preceding month, resulting in a reading of 106.3 points (December 2020 = 100). Inflation for the same month, when compared to the previous year, stood at +1.7%. This decline in CPI can be attributed to various factors, including reduced prices in the hotel and supplementary accommodation sectors, as well as decreases in airfare and prices for both domestic and international package holidays. On the other hand, prices for leisure-time courses, fuels, heating oil, clothing, and footwear saw increases during this period.

[B][U][Center]GBP - Official Bank Rate[/Center][/U][/B] Short-term interest rates are the primary determinant of currency valuation, with traders predominantly using other indicators to forecast future rate movements. On September 21st, the Bank of England decided to maintain its policy interest rate at 5.25%, marking its highest level since 2008. This choice marked a departure from the bank's series of 515 basis points (bps) rate hikes over the past two years, reflecting a cautious approach influenced by recent data on inflation and the labor market. The Monetary Policy Committee voted 5-4 in favor of keeping rates unchanged, with four members advocating for a 0.25% increase. Despite ongoing pressure from rising oil prices, the central bank anticipates a decline in Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation in the near term, attributed to lower energy costs and ongoing decreases in food and core goods prices. Policymakers also reiterated their readiness to implement further tightening measures if deemed necessary.

This is due to the strong correlation between labor market conditions and consumer spending. Additionally, unemployment plays a crucial role in the decisions made by those responsible for shaping the country's monetary policy. In the week ending October 21, the seasonally adjusted initial jobless claims increased by 10,000 to 210,000, with the previous week's figure revised upward by 2,000.
