The release of November's non-farms payroll report at 8:30 a.m. ET is expected to show that jobs growth is continuing to slow as the Fed's aggressive rate hike path starts to rein in consumer and business spending. Economists expect 200K jobs will be added during the month, down from 261K in October, while the unemployment rate is expected to stay at 3.7%, near a 50-year low. Some other recent economic reports back up the expectation for a slower increase in jobs - the ADP November report, October JOLTS, and an increased number of firing announcements. Quote: "As high-profile layoffs surge through the U.S. tech industry, the broader private sector is still creating jobs, but at a slower pace, while job openings are still high," said José Torres, senior economist at Interactive Brokers. "These factors imply that the Federal Reserve's tightening campaign is helping to slow the economy and inflation, but the challenging war against increasing prices is far from over." Indeed, traders don't see the Fed pivoting anytime soon, though, as Fed officials have been indicating, they're betting on smaller rate hikes going forward. The CME FedWatch Tool puts a 75.8% probability on a 50 basis point increase at the Dec. 13-14 Fed meeting, down from the 75 bps hikes at each of the past four meetings. For the February meeting, traders see a 48.2% probability of a 25-bp hike and put the odds of a 50-bp hike at 43.0%. Inflation watch: Workers' average hourly earnings are expected to increase 4.6% Y/Y, easing from the 4.7% increase in October, both below current inflation rates. Core PCE, a key gauge the Fed watches, rose 5.0% Y/Y in October, in the most recent inflation report, still more than double the central bank's 2% target. As inflationary pressures from supply bottlenecks and commodity prices ease, "wage increases are probably going to be a very important part of the story going forward," Fed Chair Jay Powell said Wednesday. "Of course, we want wages to go up, but they have to be consistent with the goal of 2% inflation."
