COULD OCTOBER PAYROLLS BE NEGATIVE?
The U.S. economy is forecast to have added 113,000 nonfarm payrolls in October, a sharp slowdown from September's 254,000, as adverse weather and employee walkouts are expected to have subtracted jobs.
The Labor Department's monthly strike report indicated that 41,000 workers were idle during the survey period, at companies including Boeing BA.N, Textron TXT.N , Hilton HLT.N, Hyatt H.N and Marriott MAR.O.
Two hurricanes also devastated the southeast in late September and early October although analysts are split over the impact this might have.
And while no analysts surveyed by Reuters expect a negative print, analysts at ABN Amro expect no change in payrolls, the bottom of the range of estimates in a Reuters survey of economists.
"Partly this is due to the impact of the hurricanes, which will unwind in the coming months," the Dutch bank said.
"But it also reflects the more fundamental cooling of the labour market, with layoffs by manufacturers and a slowdown in education sector hiring after last month's strong figure."
At the other end of the spectrum, DBS Bank expects the U.S. to have added 200,000 payrolls last month, the Reuters survey showed, but admits that getting a clean read from the payrolls report is likely to prove difficult.
Economists have struggled to predict the payrolls figure in recent months, and September's figure came in higher than the estimates of all of those polled by Reuters.
The top-ranked forecaster, UBS, is smack bang in the middle, guessing 100,000 jobs were added last month but playing down some of the impact of storms and strikes.
"Should more pronounced weakness materialize, we expect seasonal adjustment, a shortfall in the imputations, or underlying weakness would be more likely culprits for a meaningful downside surprise," UBS said.
