As we noted yesterday, stock and bond traders picked out the parts of Fed Governor Christopher Waller\u2019s speech that favored a bullish approach.&nbsp; There\u2019s nothing particularly new about that \u2013 it happened pretty much every time that former Chair Powell stepped in front of a microphone. &nbsp;The magnitude of the rally, however, was a bit of a surprise given the relative ambiguity of Waller\u2019s comments.&nbsp; Today we see a bit of a pullback after a surprisingly strong Nonfarm Payrolls report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The payrolls report was indeed a bit of a shocker.&nbsp; Nonfarm Payrolls rose by 162,000, far exceeding the 55,000 consensus and surpassing even the highest published estimate in that consensus (125K).&nbsp; Furthermore, last month\u2019s -23,000 was revised to +21,000.&nbsp; Although there was some suspicion that Waller had seen the statistics in advance, I have been told by a source I trust that the numbers are only released to those who \u201cneed to know\u201d at 3pm on the day prior to the report.&nbsp; Considering this statement, \u201cI don\u2019t expect that the employment data will deviate much from what we have been seeing,\u201d it seems quite clear that he hadn\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Actually, the rest of the data didn\u2019t deviate much from what we have been seeing.&nbsp; The Unemployment Rate was stable at 4.1%, as expected, even as the Labor Force Participation Rate rose to 61.6% from 61.4%, 0.1% above the 61.5% consensus.&nbsp; Average Hourly Earnings rose by 0.3%, matching consensus but above last month\u2019s reported 0.1%, which was revised up to 0.2%.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet the headline Nonfarm Payrolls number grabbed the bulk of the attention, and rightly so.&nbsp; The stronger-than-expected headline prompted an audible \u201cwoo-hoo\u201d from one of my fellow panelists, a well-respected economist, <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/economy\/article\/us-added-162000-jobs-in-august-smashing-expectations-jobs-report-175614216.html?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmluZy5jb20v&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAG8hFR-HDNJ_4iTiv_NoUywYqOZNzUz9oamSMApU5RwFZfyONUrZHyLBv9_PbKhV2z2fwZmlwGepsgqm2s230ZDjbxOb7Hzl_4-8VAsmntRD5FOgEMxh7Owh2THlDC9pkf58NVk1VA6briOtkAuEQM-qv3IpKIV86Umfio19g-gZ\">on live TV<\/a> when the number was released.&nbsp; The immediate reaction led to a 6-basis-point jump in short-term rates, though that has since faded to just about 3 bp around noon.&nbsp; Rate hike expectations for November rose from about 51% to 61% today, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/economy\/article\/us-added-162000-jobs-in-august-smashing-expectations-jobs-report-175614216.html?guccounter=1&amp;guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmluZy5jb20v&amp;guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAG8hFR-HDNJ_4iTiv_NoUywYqOZNzUz9oamSMApU5RwFZfyONUrZHyLBv9_PbKhV2z2fwZmlwGepsgqm2s230ZDjbxOb7Hzl_4-8VAsmntRD5FOgEMxh7Owh2THlDC9pkf58NVk1VA6briOtkAuEQM-qv3IpKIV86Umfio19g-gZ\">CME FedWatch<\/a>, though <a href=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.com\/predictionmarkets\/app\/#\/853722976\/product-details\/contracts?exchange=KALSHI\">IBKR Prediction Markets<\/a> remain more sanguine with a 47% \u201cYes\u201d for a hike at that meeting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(I remain steadfast in my opinion that the first hike won\u2019t come until December, after the midterm elections.&nbsp; The President clearly favors lower rates, and while there is no chance of a rate cut anytime soon, the Administration seems adamantly opposed to higher rates.&nbsp; Even a highly independent Fed is not deaf to political concerns.&nbsp; Thus, I don\u2019t think Chair Warsh is eager to draw the political fire that a pre-election rate hike would bring.&nbsp; Barring a huge inflation surprise, inertia seems like the safer short-term course.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The equity markets seemed resigned to trading modestly lower, seemingly more because that\u2019s what they\u2019re supposed to do rather than because of any real concern.&nbsp; Although the S&amp;P 500 is down by about 0.3%, that means that today\u2019s dip is less than half of yesterday\u2019s gain.&nbsp; Meanwhile, the Nasdaq 100 (NDX) has been slightly higher for most of the session, thanks to demand for semiconductor and other tech stocks.&nbsp; Although it seems as though traders are eager to go home before the Labor Day weekend, it would not surprise me if we saw a late advance that takes advantage of the pre-holiday volume.&nbsp; It depends on who is still plugged in on the last Friday of the summer season and whether they have the risk tolerance to take long positions home with them over a long weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday turned out to be a stunner.
