The week's final economic megaevent is upon us.
At 8:30am, the BLS is expected to report that October payrolls rose by 180k, crashing back to earth from the prior month's (laughable) 336k print (which saw 1.1 million part-time jobs added and 885K full-time jobs lost), with analyst forecasts ranging between 125-285k. The unemployment rate is seen maintaining a 3.8% pace, while wages are expected to accelerate to 0.3% from 0.2% sequentially, with the annual rate seen easing to 4.0% from 4.2%.
