Key Quotes
“In terms of labour market numbers, we expect jobs growth to continue moving along nicely at just under 250,000 and the unemployment rate to stay at 5.6% after dropping from 5.8% last month.”
“The most interesting figure is likely to be wages growth. It surprisingly fell 0.3% MoM in December, dragging the annual rate of growth down to 1.7%. We may get a rebound in January given that the shrinking pool of available labour should be leading to raising wage pressures.”
“As for activity, the ISM indices should remain consistent with above-trend GDP growth and the combination of falling mortgage rates and gasoline prices coupled with a strong labour market should mean good consumer numbers.”
“4Q14 GDP is likely to have expanded by around 3% annualised.”
