Key Quotes
“We expect the US ISM non-manufacturing index to decline to 54.5 after it was stronger than expected in April. Last month new orders rose and the index provided evidence of a rebound in Q2. This followed although the employment component fell, as it tends to lag orders”.
“The US ADP employment is also released ahead of the non-farm payrolls due on Friday”.
“Consensus is for a slightly smaller increase of 210,000 in May compared to 220,000 in April, which should likely reflect the recent slowdown in growth. Fed publishes the Beige book tonight”.
