What are the latest US non‑farm payroll numbers and why do they matter?
Strong GDP growth and jobs not taking a hammering yet. All good reasons for the Fed to hold their nerve, even if the president has called the Fed a disaster. But payrolls showed there's resilience in the jobs market, and maybe today we'll hear about some sort of resolution or at least the significant step forwards in the US China trade war. It's the morning call from NAV for Tuesday, the tenth of june, twenty twenty five. Good morning. And the US dollar is pretty much where it was where we left you on Friday morning, just below ninety-nine on the DXY. Compared to that yesterday, a not point five percent lift in the Aussie dollar up to sixty-five point two US cents, a quarter percent rise in the pound on Monday, and the euro the same as well, a tiny bit more for the yen.
Uh US equities for Monday, which have just closed, uh, but up just not point one percent for the SP. The Dow is unmoved actually. Uh the moves have all been in tech with a naught point three percent rise in the Nasdaq. So for all the worries about equity slipping lately, uh the Nasdaq reached nineteen thousand six hundred and thirty seven today, which is only two point eight percent off its all time high. Whereas Europe on Monday shares were down half percent off the DAX, about naught point one percent off the FTSE one hundred and the Eurostocks fifty. Uh but if you look over the last twelve months, the Nasdaq is just fourteen percent up over the last twelve months, the DAX Is up 30%. The ASX 200 over a year is up just 8%.
But year to date, doing better than most, up 3.5% so far this year. And bond yields are falling right now, down three basis points for 10-year Treasuries, down to 4.47%, down one basis point across much of Europe. Aussie 10-year yields are down to 4.28%, just a couple of basis points higher than they were on Friday. And oil is climbing. Timing up, half per cent for Brent, naught point six percent for WTI. Brent getting close to sixty seven a barrel now. So uh we weren't here yesterday, so it may be old news, but let's talk about before we talk about US and China, let's talk about US jobs, the non farm payrolls on Friday. There were fees that they might be a little soft, like the ADP numbers. But maybe this is a reason why we shouldn't pay too much attention to the ADP numbers, because the official numbers came in at one hundred and thirty nine thousand
and new payrolls in May. The consensus was for one hundred and twenty six thousand. Uh so let's talk about that with Nabs Taylor Newton in Melbourne. I mean uh good numbers, but still a slowing labor market, of course.
Yeah, good good morning, Phil.
How did the labour market data change expectations for Fed rate cuts?
I think it's interesting the the reaction to that payrolls number. Certainly we saw US yields higher, we saw expectations for uh Fed cuts paired a little bit, uh, you know, from around fifty four basis points of cuts priced uh this year ahead of the data to forty four after the data. Um certainly, you know, it seems seems pretty evident that markets were braced for for something softer than than what we got. There was that kind of rank. run of weaker US data uh through the week a ahead of payrolls. Um but as you say, kind of the data itself, the headlines there really broadly in line with with where consensus was, plus one thirty nine K versus one hundred twenty six expected, um and the unemployment rate steady at at four point two percent.
Um but even there I would say that looking through the detail it's probably you know actually a little bit a little bit softer than those than those headlines suggest, even if evidently not as not as bad as feared by by markets. A couple of things to call out there. There were downland revisions to the prior two months, so minus 95k net revisions to the March and April releases. So giving that that plus one forty K or so a little bit of a softer undertone there. And even, you know, through the household survey. Okay. were, you know, mere basis of points away from a a four point three percent print um on the unemployment rate, which might have, you know, looked optically a a little bit different.
