JEast Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 US payrolls for the month of May came in around 130k. The rule of thumb is payrolls need to expand around 200k per month or the economy is going nowhere. Businesses are making money, but it does not appear that the economy is going to rebound this year. I would assume that this is the reason the bond market is making lows. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/hiring-trend-for-private-payrolls-slows-down-adp-2012-05-31?dist=beforebell Cheers JEast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be adding over 500k jobs per month a year from now given this month-over-month pace of improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEast Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 I thought the payroll data was worrisome, but did not expect the 30-year to move 20bp over the fact. Is this just headline noise or is the market telling us something? Maybe our deflation derivatives via Fairfax have moved a little closer back to par now :) Cheers JEast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total nonfarm payroll employment in May was up 69,000, in April the increase was revised to +77,000.
