Tomorrow is the big one \u2013 the August employment report.  Last week, Nvidia (NVDA) was understandably the biggie, even if its good but not great results<\/a>, failed to cause broader repercussions.  But it is nearly impossible to assert that non-consensus August Nonfarm Payrolls and\/or Unemployment would fail to move stock and bond markets.  The upcoming FOMC meeting potentially hinges upon those numbers.  A Goldilocks scenario around consensus \u2013 not too hot, not too cold \u2013 is what equity bulls require.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyperbole?\u00a0 Perhaps.\u00a0 However, the recent Jackson Hole address by Federal Reserve Chair Powell (aka \u201cGoldilocks in a Suit\u201d) seemed to all but promise a rate cut at the September 18th<\/sup> meeting, and more importantly, reaffirmed that after years of seeming to solely focus upon the \u201cstable prices\u201d portion of the Federal Reserve\u2019s dual mandate<\/a>, the \u201cmaximum employment\u201d goal is now in play after a few months of weaker labor data.\u00a0 Thus, with a minimum of 25 basis points a near-certainty, the labor report is viewed as the most important factor toward a potential 50 bp cut.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering the markets\u2019 mood, the reports need to thread a fairly narrow window around consensus, which is currently around 165,000 for Nonfarm Payrolls and a 4.2% Unemployment Rate.  It currently shows a 65% likelihood that August payrolls will exceed 147,500 which broadly fits with the current consensus. (Remember, consensus expectations can move after a contract is listed). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key for most investors and traders is not to figure out what the number will be, but instead, how the markets might react to various scenarios.  Considering that fixed income traders seem roughly split between expecting 25 and 50 bp at the next meeting, and that a substantially weaker number would pump up the chances of 50bp, while a significantly stronger one would dash hopes for a larger cut, a number that widely deviates from consensus would mean that a large percentage of investors would be caught offsides.  And when traders are caught offsides, volatility ensues.  (Note: as of midday, the CME FedWatch tool shows a 39% likelihood for a 50bp cut in September, while ForecastTrader shows 81% likelihood for a Fed Funds rate set above 4.875%),<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a failed rally attempt this morning, fueled by another bout of \u201cbuy-the-dip\u201d in megacap tech stocks, we see risk-averse sentiment return to equity markets.  The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) briefly dipped below 20 this morning but has now returned to a 21 handle.  At-money options the for S&P 500 Index (SPX) that expire tomorrow are pricing in a roughly 1.65% move, though we see a very steep downside skew below 5,350:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, as we might intuit from the large flattish area in the top curve above, the IBKR Probability Lab shows a wide dispersion among the most likely outcomes, even if the peak probability remains about 1% above the current index level: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the bottom line.   Since rate cuts have become a near-certainty we\u2019ve entered a \u201cbad news is bad\u201d environment.  The danger in really bad news is that even if the Fed is prepared to react aggressively, it might be too late to stave off real economic weakness.  But there is a worry that if the news is too good, that the Fed might be reticent to cut rates as fast as the market has come to expect.  A data-dependent Fed is not likely to offer the four 25bp cuts that the markets expect to arrive during the remaining three FOMC meetings this year.  Thus, a \u201cGoldilocks\u201d payrolls report \u2013 not too hot, not too cold \u2013 is what equity bulls should desire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
