If the job data indicate inflationary, you may see a gap down.

Good event bad event, who knows. may see a gap down, may see a gap up. May see no move at all. I am not even going to bother to try and guess.

I can see scope for another (more powerful) leg up, but it is still early.

Employment reports are all bogus, even if the gov't makes the most effort to report the best information available, they will have to revise them significantly later.

Anyhow, I was looking at the birth/death adjustments and this is the third month that the net gains are obtained by adjusting the data. In other words, the raw numbers are showing increasing unemployment actually for 3 months in a row, if I am not mistaken.

birth/death model stats

First, they were telling people there was no inflation and now the unemployed people are actually employed! :lol:
