Economy Ready For Modest Job Gains For October, But Market Remains Mixed

Posted on by

The uncertain outcome of Greece’s sovereign debt crisis and its implications for Europe’s economy kept U.S. stocks futures mixed on Friday, with the indexes little changed follow two days of steep gains.

With no resolutions for Europe’s debt turmoil, traders will be focusing on the U.S. payrolls report, with non-farm employment expected to have risen by 95,000 jobs last month.

Employers will most likely add only enough jobs for the month of October to keep the unemployment rate from rising up, reflecting their more careful outlook in the sluggish economy.

Economists have predicted that employers added a net total of 100,000 jobs last month, in accordance to a survey by FactSet. That is just enough to keep up with the growth in population.

More than twice that number is needed to lower the unemployment rate, which has been projected to remain 9.1 percent for the fourth consecutive month.

Many employers remain hesitant to step up hiring until they have steadies the demand from consumers.

Healthier consumer spending was the main reason that the economy had expanded at an annual pace of 2.5 percent in the July-September quarter, the best quarterly growth in a year. Growth in consumer spending has tripled from the spring, despite renewed recession fears and wide fluctuations in the stock market.

But economists now worry that the summer spending gains cannot be sustained. Americans have spent more in the third quarter even though they had earned less, using their savings to make up the difference.

Without more jobs and increased wages, consumers are likely to pare spending in the months that lie ahead. Consumer spending is very important as it accounts for 70 percent of the economic activity.

European stocks edged higher after Greece had called off a referendum that could have threatened its membership to the euro zone, which eased concerns over a Greek default.

Th focus on developments from Europe has turned stock trading volatile, with the S&P 500 swinging more than 1.5 percent every day this week. The index remains on track to post its first negative week in five after closing on Monday its best month seen in 20 years.

“Just when you think it’s safe to get in the water, it’s not. Confidence is not high in either direction,” said Andre Bakhos, director of market analytics at Lek Securities in New York. “This results in fast-paced swings and erratic market behavior.”

S&P 500 Futures declined 2 points and were below fair value, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average Futures increased 5 points. The Nasdaq 100 futures declined 8 points.

The White House stated U.S banks’ exposure to the euro zone trouble is modest, and the U.S. will be able to cope if the region’s debt crisis becomes worse.

In a move that makes its deficit more credible, Italy has agreed to have the International Monetary Fund monitor the progress of the country with long delayed forms of pensions, privatization, and labor markets. Italy’s debt problems could be the market’s next target after dealing with Greece’s crisis.

Groupon Inc. (GRPN) raised $700 million in an initial public offering, making it the biggest IPO by an internet company since Google Inc (GOOG) in 2004.

Shares for Starbucks Corp.(SBUX) increased in light pre-market trading after its quarterly profit had beat out expectations following strong global sales.
