A preview of the report of the employment situation and Outlook

On the bond market has effectively been reconciling from 10 February. There are two ways to look at this rally as BEARISH TREND CORRECTIVELY or BULLISH.

We had the chance today to see if the evidence of the direction of the latter could be further aggregated, but those hopes were crushed by the sell off.  Looking at the broader perspective of the situation, can be viewed as a logical division between "then" and "now". And so, we are heading in the future employment situation report excellent sitting in the middle of the fence. Below is a chart illustrating the neutrality of prepare the bond market.

Prepare course: Neutrality found just before the event with a high risk of

It is difficult to determine exactly where the dividing point is within the meaning of the actual payrolls number and unemployment rate as the result of a combination of these two measures bonds generally weakening overall rally vs., but it is said that if the report is better than expected, that the market is telling us is ready to Back to the previous range of 3.56-3.70 move 10 yr Treasury yields!  Only this can be a bad thing for MBS, regardless of how many spreads may tighten to sell off.  We could be looking for the best performance at a glance, 5.25.

On the other side of the coin while we are not so likely to see the scale of the unemployment rate Back to its previous range, if we manage to come under the consensus for payrolls, we may still see support around 3.56, which we saw today.  In this case, we would be showing the same chart, Note the long period of 10 years. You know, which tells us we are due to repeat history.

On the labour market is Fed focus at the time as strukturalizacje that doubts continued over the sustainability of the recovery.  When and if the symptoms begin finally building that labour markets are recovering, monetary policy changes will not be far behind, and not with the characters for bonds traders to recorded such things and the prices of their liklihood to current rates.  You can get a looking very quickly.  We're on the defensive to check. In particular with the ECB rate hike signalling in not so distant future.

Here's a preview of the focal points of the Reitox network of Reuters:

FACTORS TO WATCH
U.S. nonfarm payrolls have probably in February after possession of deadly winter weather that gripped large parts of the country in January. Expects that employment rose by 185,000, which would be the largest gain in nearly a year and clearest signal yet that self-sustaining economic recovery is taking root.

But payrolls in recent months show a tendency to fall far from the expectations of economists, although market research pointed to the momentum of the work of independent mainly pace of job creation.

There are fears that the Government may be the lack of growth of new enterprises. Labor Department Chief Economist Betsey Stevenson last month confirmed, Earl was probably covered by short, like faulty estimates of how many companies have been created or destroyed, led to an undercutting those job losses during the recession.

Agents benefit from the strong figure payrolls February include applications for the first time for State unemployment benefits, which was hefty falls in the month. In addition, the survey of consumer confidence, paint a picture of improving the labour market.

An overview of the activities of the national factory of Tuesday showed employment gauge scale high 38-year in February.

Although part of the country, such as the Midwest suffered severe snowstorms, conditions eased a week testing payrolls.

Despite the expected jump in payrolls, unemployment rate is seen ticking to 9,1%. The growth rate is derived from the separate household survey, which showed an increase in January of nearly 600 000 jobs.

The unemployment rate fell by 0.8 percentage points from November, the largest decline in two months since 1958. It is closely observed by the signs of economic recovery of the Federal Reserve is a self-sustaining path.

Unemployment may also specify the path for the U.S. central bank the first interest rate cut overnight route from lending rates to near zero in December 2008. In accordance with the expected Fed natural rate of unemployment, the economy is between 5% and 6%.

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said the Central Bank would start withdrawing some of its huge stimulus cash before growth rate falls to a level. Fed expects to complete its 600 billions of dollars the Government purchase of the bonds program, which ends in June, even if employment shows strong gains in February and the months after.

As in previous months, the private sector is expected to include all of the profits expected in February. Likely private payrolls will see 190000 after cultivation of 50,000 in January, mainly in the services sector.

Wage private services took a step back in January as the employment of couriers and messengers employed decreased significantly. Temporary employment also fell in January.

Employment in industries producing goods should be able to see weather related to reflect, with the construction of the return of some 32,000 jobs lost in January. Strong gains are expected from the production sector, which is to Enable recovery.

Government payrolls probably contracted for the fourth straight month, one and a half by the State and local governments, which are covered by the heavy pressures on the budget.

The average work week is expected to edge up after severe weather shortened working hours. Average hourly earnings are expected to increase at a somewhat slower pace than in January.

THE IMPACT OF MARKET
Nonfarm payrolls will vie because investors from Libya, where political unrest has pushed oil prices above $ 100 barrel and heated concerns over inflation and slower economic growth.  Stronger employment report, which would be fresh confirmation of a strengthening recovery, may call the bond sell-and increase yields. It would also increase in the Dollar and stocks, which have suffered on concerns that high oil prices could hobble the recovery.
