Stronger Start After ADP Comes in Much Weaker

Stronger Start After ADP Comes in Much Weaker

Bonds were already a hair stronger coming into the ADP data, but the results (-32k vs 50k forecast and previous month revised to -3k from 54k) have provided an obvious tailwind. With the government shutdown now confirmed, this will be the week's only broad payroll data.  It's certainly not worth nearly as much of a reaction as the jobs report, but it's definitely worth something.

Officially known as The Employment Situation, the monthly jobs report is published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), part of the Federal government's Department of Labor. If t... READ MORE
