releasing their payrolls and unemployment report for November.&nbsp; This is an important release at any time, but tomorrow\u2019s report arrives less than two weeks ahead of an FOMC meeting where a speedier taper and more aggressive rate guidance are likely to be under consideration.&nbsp; Chair Powell has indicated a bit more nervousness about inflation, and reports of a robust labor market could accelerate the Federal Reserve\u2019s move away from monetary stimulus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yesterday we received our first clue about the labor market from the ADP Employment Change report.&nbsp; Amidst the gyrations in the stock and bond markets, the in-line report was largely ignored.&nbsp; We saw growth in November employment of 534,000 vs expectations of 525,000, with a negligible adjustment of +1,000 to October\u2019s report.&nbsp; The report was taken in stride, as equity futures were rallying strongly after Tuesday\u2019s drop, and largely ignored as major US indices gave back their early gains and plunged in the afternoon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a

reports.&nbsp; We believe that ADP is a decent but imperfect predictor of the report released 2 days later, as the following chart shows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>BLS Nonfarm

was a large divergence in the initial September report, but that was largely erased in last month\u2019s revision.&nbsp; It does not appear that there is much to suggest that expectations for the coming report are particularly out of line, as the next graph shows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bls-nonfarm-payrolls-white-vs-economist-survey-blue\"><strong>BLS Nonfarm

\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source: Bloomberg<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We see that economists have gotten their payroll estimates largely correct, at least when revisions are factored in.&nbsp; We have no way of knowing what the outcome will be, but it is reasonable to think that the estimates of an increase of 550,000 non-farm payrolls seems reasonable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given the markets\u2019 recent bout of volatility, an out of consensus result could prove to be yet another excuse for stock or bond markets to lurch.&nbsp; Tomorrow\u2019s report may prove to be a case where traders are actually hoping for bad news.&nbsp; A stronger than expected report would further kindle fears that the Fed would be more aggressive in tapering purchases and more able to raise rates sooner than hoped, while a weaker result could be perceived as allowing the Fed to extend monetary stimulus more than currently expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In light of the recent volatility and ahead of yet another market moving event, it is useful to take a quick glance at what options markets might be anticipating as well.&nbsp; The following graph shows multi-expiry skews for the next 2 weekly and 3 monthly SPY options expiries, using the TWS\u2019 IV Viewer + Term Structure function:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SPY Skew for Multiple Experies: Dec 3<sup>rd<\/sup> (green), 10<sup>th<\/sup> (purple), 17<sup>th<\/sup>(yellow), Jan 21<sup>st<\/sup>

\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chart displays a significant amount of risk aversion, with out-of-the-money puts trading with implied volatilities well above those of similarly out-of-the-money calls.&nbsp; We also see that the lowest implied volatilities are for options with strikes about 2-5% above the current level for SPY.&nbsp; I find that somewhat interesting, not because markets are bidding up for protective puts \u2013 traders typically pay more for hedges after a dip than before \u2013 but because they appear reluctant to be betting on a bounce.&nbsp; This can be somewhat explained by the expectation that implied volatilities across the board would be expected to dip if the market bounces significantly, but there does appear to more of a reluctance among SPY traders to buy the dip than one might have thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tomorrow is the first Friday of December, which means the Bureau of
