Intraday Updates
[8:15 Data] The ADP employment report came in 66K above our expectations, which is not enough to change our forecast for payrolls tomorrow.
[8:30 Data] Initial jobless claims were also stronger than expected this morning, but that probably says more about the outlook for July employment than tomorrow's June payroll figures.
[Chain Store Sales] Chain store sales were in line with our expectations of a modest increase, and point to a respectable gain of 0.3% in inflation-adjusted consumption spending in June.
[10:00 Data] The ISM non-manufacturing index fell somewhat more than expected in June, led by a 4-point decline in the subjective business conditions index. more »
