The US Employment Report for June is releasing today, featuring the nonfarm payrolls and the unemployment rate. The previous report, for May, was particularly strong, employment growth accelerated in May. That report destroyed speculations that the Fed was not going to hike until 2016 and brought a September rate hike back on the table.
The consensus expectation for the nonfarm payrolls is 233K. However, that survey was taken largely before the better-than-expected ADP and ISM data.
