the bigger impact will be after 6 Sep when stimulus ends. hopefully, more would have found jobs and this will help the market with spendings.

if the consensus is correct, it may offer further accumulated evidence that the labor market is making progress towards the Fed's 'substantial' threshold where it will feel comfortable in scaling back its asset purchases, according toNewsquawk..\nKey expectations:\n\nHeadline non-farm payrolls are expected to print 725k (prev. 943k).\nThe unemployment rate is expected to decline by 0.2% to 5.2%, although this figure may not give a true reflection of the labor market;\nAnalysts will be focused on the participation rate (which rose to 61.7% in July from 61.6% in June vs 63.2% pre-pandemic), the U6 measure of underemployment (which fell to 9.2% in July from 9.8% in June vs 7.0% pre-pandemic), and the employment-population ratio (which rose to 58.4% in July from 58.0% in June vs 61.1% pre-pandemic).\nAverage hourly earnings are expected to rise 0.3% M/M, down from 0.4% in July, and 4.0% Y/Y.\n\nLabor market gauges have been mixed in August: while ADP's private payrolls disappointed expectations (again), the weekly initial jobless claims and continuing claims fell to a new post-pandemic low. Other metrics, however, offer a gloomier assessment: the ISM and Markit manufacturing surveys allude to a cooling in labor market conditions, with the Delta variant being cited as a reason for the softer pace of hiring. Given that the jobs data will be framed within the context of the Fed's policy reaction, many analysts have been suggesting a'good data is bad for the prospects of further accommodation'playbook, and vice versa; however, this strategy was not seen in wake of the disappointing ADP data this week. Many argue that the market has already moved on from the timing of the taper announcement – assumed to be in Q4 before implementation late this year or early next – and focus is on the pace of the reductions and the duration of the taper, and the August jobs data is not likely to inform the latter two meaningfully.\nWhile Consensus remains surprisingly bullish, Goldman's forecast was recently slashed to just 500K, about a third lower than consensus of 725K. As the bank explains, \"while the seasonal hurdle is relatively low in August, the monthly pace and cross-section of Big Data employment indicators are consistent with a sizeable drag from the Delta variant.\" Specifically, the bank notes that high-frequency data on the labor marketwere disappointing between the July and August survey weeks with all of the indicators we track consistent with a slowdown from the 943k July pace. Only one of the five measures Goldman tracks indicated an underlying job gain in excess of consensus (Census Small Business Pulse, +0.8mn). On the positive side, Goldman expects the reopening of schools to boost job growth by around 150k in tomorrow’s report.\nPOLICY FOCUS: Many Fed officials want to see further accumulated evidence that the labor market is progressing towards its 'substantial further progress' threshold for tapering asset purchases before they commit to a timeline for scaling back these purchases, as well as the modalities of how the taper will look. The August jobs data will be eyed within this context, with analysts suggesting that a weak reading will allow the Fed more time to shape its views, while a stronger-than-expected report will add urgency to a process that some Fed officials want wrapped-up by mid-2022. The Fed has been framing the post-pandemic upside in inflation as transitory, although not everyone is convinced.\nSLACK: Headline non-farm payrolls are expected to print 728k (prev. 943k) in August; private payrolls are seen at 665k (prev. 703k), and government payrolls are seen at 25k (prev. 27k). The unemployment rate is expected to decline to 5.2% from 5.4%; many officials do not think that the headline unemployment rate is truly indicative of the health of the labour market, and in recent months, have been monitoring measures like the participation rate (which rose to 61.7% in July from 61.6% in June vs 63.2% pre-pandemic), the U6 measure of underemployment (which fell to 9.2% in July from 9.8% in June vs 7.0% pre-pandemic), and the employment-population ratio (which rose to 58.4% in July from 58.0% in June vs 61.1% pre-pandemic) which all offer better insight into the progress being made in eroding the slack seen since the pandemic.\nTREND RATES: There are still 5.7mln fewer Americans in employment compared to pre-pandemic levels in February 2020. The Fed does not specifically quantify what 'substantial further progress' means; market participants have argued that, at minimum, it should mean a continuation of current trends, if not an improving trend rate. The short-term trends improved in the July data; the 3-month trend rate stood at 832k in July (vs 607k trend in the 3-months through June); the 6-month trend rate stood at 681k in July (vs the 563k in the 3-months through June); but the 12-month trend rate was 605k in July (vs 670k in the 12-months through June). If the August consensus expectation of 728k was realised, the 3- month and 6-month trend rates would improve again, possibly giving Fed officials evidence of accumulated progress towards the 'substantial further progress' threshold.\nWAGES: Average hourly earnings are seen rising +0.3% M/M (prev. +0.4% M/M), though the annualized measure is seen unchanged at 4.0% Y/Y; the average workweek is expected to be unchanged at 34.8hrs. Analysts will be carefully monitoring the average hourly earnings measures; the argument is that higher prices may stoke consumer inflation expectations, as seen in recent consumer confidence reports, and will result in higher compensation as workers demand more cash amid rising prices; analysts say that this would add to evidence that inflation is more persistent than the Fed is currently admitting to.\nADP: The private payrolls survey by ADP disappointed expectations, showing just 374k jobs were added to the US economy in August; analysts were expecting 613k, following the (also) disappointing 326k it reported in July. ADP attributed the weak August report to the Delta variant; Moody's Analytics said \"the Delta variant appears to have dented the job market recovery,\" but \"job growth remains strong, but well-off the pace of recent months, and job growth remains inextricably tied to the path of the pandemic.\" Fed officials have recently been more sanguine on the impact of Delta, although some officials have argued that the Fed is still capable of tweaking policy if the pandemic once again became more persistent.NOTE:The ADP data uses previous official BLS data within its methodology; that July BLS data was strong relative to expectations, so does allude to a more tepid pace of hiring in August, although desks continue to note the tenuous relationship that the ADP data has in signalling the official BLS data; last month, for instance, the ADP flagged a weaker jobs report, although the official data surprised to the upside.\nINITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS: Weekly claims data that coincides with the traditional BLS survey window showed claims falling to a post-pandemic low at 349k; the four-week moving average also declined relative to the July survey window, both boding well for the official jobs report. The continuing claims data which coincides with the traditional BLS survey window also fell to a post-pandemic low at 2.862mln (vs 3.296mln heading into the July jobs data). Pantheon Macroeconomics said that the claims numbers are now finally free of the distortions caused by the automakers' retooling shutdowns and the trend is still falling, which suggests that the surge in COVID cases had not yet triggered an increase in layoffs. \"These data, however, tell us nothing about the pace of gross hiring, and it’s entirely possible that firms’  first reaction to the Delta wave has been to slow the pace of recruitment, before taking the more difficult decision to let go existing staff,\" Pantheon said, \"still, these data are encouraging.\" Other desks also point out that the claims data only gives insight into workers being laid off (and is essentially corroborated by Challenger's lay-offs data, which fell to the lowest since June 1997), whereas some argue that the labour market weakness seen of late is likely a function of slowing hiring amid the spread of the Delta variant, which is more reflected in surveys.\nBUSINESS SURVEYS: The business survey data only offers a partial glimpse of the labour market this month, given that the Services ISM and Markit's Final Services PMI for August are both set for release after the jobs report (NOTE: the flash services data from Markit showed employment falling by 2.5 points to 50.8). The ISM manufacturing report saw its employment sub-index tumble by almost 4 points into contractionary territory at 49.0, with the survey noting that new surges of COVID-19 were adding to pandemic-related issues, like worker absenteeism, short-term shutdowns due to parts shortages, as well as difficulties in filling open positions and overseas supply chain problems. That said, the report also said that companies were still struggling to meet labour-management plans, but despite a contracting index, there were positive signs compared to recent months, partly mitigating the gloom implied by the index itself. Meanwhile, Markit's manufacturing PMI alluded to employment growth easing as firms struggled to retain staff and find suitable candidates for current vacancies.\nARGUING FOR A WEAKER-THAN-EXPECTED REPORT:\n\nDelta variant. Unlike in the first month of the covid resurgence, the Delta variant now appears to be affecting services consumption and the labor market. The revival of the CDC’s mask recommendation on July 27 occurred after the July payroll survey week had ended, which would be consistent with a drag in tomorrow’s report despite the strong gains in the previous one. As shown in the left panel of Exhibit 1, restaurant seatings on Open Table pulled back at the turn of the month, falling to 89% of their 2019 levels during the August survey week, compared to 95% in the July survey week. This would argue for a pause or pullback in US leisure and hospitality employment in tomorrow’s report. Additionally, as shown in the right panel, rising infection rates were associated with weaker employment growth in the state cross-section of the Homebase dataset, consistent with a negative Delta impact on labor demand, labor supply, or both.\n\n\n\nBig Data. High-frequency data on the labor market were disappointing between the July and August survey weeks (see Exhibit 2), with all of the indicators we track consistent with a slowdown from the 943k July pace. Only one of the five measures we track indicates an underlying job gain in excess of consensus (Census Small Business Pulse, +0.8mn), though we acknowledge that the track record for Big Data indicators during the crisis has been mixed.\n\n\n\nADP. Private sector employment in the ADP report increased by 374k in August, below consensus expectations for a 625k gain. Because the statistical inputs to the ADP model probably boosted their jobs estimate, we believe the underlying ADP sample showed only modest gains in the month.\n\nARGUING FOR A STRONGER-THAN-EXPECTED REPORT\n\nSchool reopening. We expect a roughly 150k boost from the reopening of schools, as many teachers and support staff return for the fall school year (some of whom were not working at the end of the prior one). While a pace of reopening similar to August 2020would contribute nearly 300k jobs (mom sa), the level of education employment is 600khigher a year later, and we believe some janitors and support staff did not return due to capacity restrictions and hybrid teaching models.\nWind-down of Top-ups. The expiration of federal benefits in some states has boosted labor supply and job-finding rates. Federal benefits were partially or fully curtailed in half of US states (representing 29% of the outstanding job losses since the start of the pandemic) in June and early July. And encouragingly, continuing claims have continued to decline more quickly in these states (by roughly 150k relative to the trend in all other states in the August payroll month).\nSeasonality. The August seasonal hurdle is relatively low: the BLS adjustment factors generally assume a 100-200k decline in private payrolls (which exclude public schools),compared to +0.5mn over the previous four months.\nJob availability. The Conference Board labor differential—the difference between the percent of respondents saying jobs are plentiful and those saying jobs are hard to get—decreased by 1.3pt to +42.8 in August but remains at a high level. Additionally, job openings increased by 590k to a record high in June, according to the JOLTS report.\nJobless claims. Initial jobless claims edged down during the August payroll month,averaging 355k per week vs. 393k in July. Continuing claims also decreased, averaging2,840k in August vs. 3,140k in July. Across all employee programs including emergency benefits, continuing claims remained roughly unchanged between the payroll survey weeks.\n\n\nNEUTRAL/MIXED FACTORS:\n\nEmployer surveys. The employment component of the ISM Manufacturing Index fell into contractionary territory (-3.9pt to 49.0). The employment component of our manufacturing survey tracker also decreased (-0.8pt to 58.3), but the employment component of our services survey tracker increased (+0.1pt to 54.9). The employment component of the GSAI increased by 2.8pt to 70.0.\nJob cuts. Announced layoffs reported by Challenger, Gray & Christmas decreased by1% in August after decreasing by 13% in July (mom, SA by GS). Layoffs were at the lowest level since 1993.\n\nREACTION: Citi argues that given still net-long broader USD positions, any miss relative to the consensus may buoy Treasuries (as traders reason that the Fed would remain accommodative for longer), and any decline in yields would likely accelerate the Dollar's recent underperformance. \"A'goldilocks'release that entails a slight miss would be most ideal for risk assets heading into an extended weekend,\" but the bigger picture Citi says is that \"the broader taper narrative will not have long-lasting market implications given broad expectations for a Q4 conclusion; nonetheless, the interim run-up will see taper talk as a persistent albeit fading influence on market moves.\"","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[{"id":815986449,"gmtCreate":1630635648281,"gmtModify":1630635648281,"author":{"id":"3574381076586256","authorId":"3574381076586256","name":"KYHBKO","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c3bcbc7f9a10836dea92afc94bf39b5b","vip":2,"crmLevel":11,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"wearingBadges":[],"authorIdStr":"3574381076586256","idStr":"3574381076586256"},"htmlText":"the bigger impact will be after 6 Sep when stimulus ends. hopefully, more would have found jobs and this will help the market with spendings.&nbsp;","listText":"the bigger impact will be after 6 Sep when stimulus ends. hopefully, more would have found jobs and this will help the market with spendings.&nbsp;","text":"the bigger impact will be after 6 Sep when stimulus ends. hopefully, more would have found jobs and this will help the market with spendings.","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/815986449","repostId":1109595556,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1109595556","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1630631097,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1109595556?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-03 09:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"August Payrolls Preview: It Will Be A Miss, The Question Is How Big<blockquote>8月就业前瞻：这将是一个失误，问题是有多大</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1109595556","media":"zerohedge","summary":"Summary:The consensus looks for the pace of hiring to cool in August, especially after Wednesday's d","content":"Summary:The consensus looks for the pace of hiring to cool in August, especially after Wednesday's disastrous ADP report, although the short-term trend rates are still likely to improve; if the consensus is correct, it may offer further accumulated evidence that the labor market is making progress towards the Fed's 'substantial' threshold where it will feel comfortable in scaling back its asset purchases, according toNewsquawk..<blockquote>摘要：市场普遍预计8月份招聘步伐将降温，尤其是在周三公布灾难性的ADP报告之后，尽管短期趋势利率仍有可能改善；据toNewsquawk称，如果共识是正确的，它可能会提供进一步积累的证据，表明劳动力市场正在朝着美联储的“实质性”门槛取得进展，美联储将放心缩减资产购买规模。</blockquote> Key expectations:<blockquote>关键期望：</blockquote> <ul> <li>Headline non-farm payrolls are expected to print 725k (prev. 943k).</li> <li>The unemployment rate is expected to decline by 0.2% to 5.2%, although this figure may not give a true reflection of the labor market;</li> <li>Analysts will be focused on the participation rate (which rose to 61.7% in July from 61.6% in June vs 63.2% pre-pandemic), the U6 measure of underemployment (which fell to 9.2% in July from 9.8% in June vs 7.0% pre-pandemic), and the employment-population ratio (which rose to 58.4% in July from 58.0% in June vs 61.1% pre-pandemic).</li> <li>Average hourly earnings are expected to rise 0.3% M/M, down from 0.4% in July, and 4.0% Y/Y.</li> </ul> Labor market gauges have been mixed in August:&nbsp;while ADP's private payrolls disappointed expectations (again), the weekly initial jobless claims and continuing claims fell to a new post-pandemic low.

The unemployment rate is expected to decline to 5.2% from 5.4%; many officials do not think that the headline unemployment rate is truly indicative of the health of the labour market, and in recent months, have been monitoring measures like the participation rate (which rose to 61.7% in July from 61.6% in June vs 63.2% pre-pandemic), the U6 measure of underemployment (which fell to 9.2% in July from 9.8% in June vs 7.0% pre-pandemic), and the employment-population ratio (which rose to 58.4% in July from 58.0% in June vs 61.1% pre-pandemic) which all offer better insight into the progress being made in eroding the slack seen since the pandemic.<blockquote>松弛：整体非农就业人数预计为72.8万人（前值。94.3万）8月；私人就业人数为66.5万（上一页。703k），政府工资为25k（上一页。27k）.失业率预计将从5.4%下降至5.2%；许多官员并不认为总体失业率真正表明了劳动力市场的健康状况，近几个月来，他们一直在监测参与率（从6月份的61.6%上升到7月份的61.7%，而疫情前为63.2%）、U6就业不足指标（从6月份的9.8%下降到7月份的9.2%，而疫情前为7.0%）和就业人口比率（从6月份的58.0%上升到7月份的58.4%，而疫情前为61.1%）等指标，这些指标都可以更好地了解自疫情以来在消除疲软方面取得的进展。</blockquote> TREND RATES:&nbsp;There are still 5.7mln fewer Americans in employment compared to pre-pandemic levels in February 2020. The Fed does not specifically quantify what 'substantial further progress' means; market participants have argued that, at minimum, it should mean a continuation of current trends, if not an improving trend rate. The short-term trends improved in the July data; the 3-month trend rate stood at 832k in July (vs 607k trend in the 3-months through June); the 6-month trend rate stood at 681k in July (vs the 563k in the 3-months through June); but the 12-month trend rate was 605k in July (vs 670k in the 12-months through June). If the August consensus expectation of 728k was realised, the 3- month and 6-month trend rates would improve again, possibly giving Fed officials evidence of accumulated progress towards the 'substantial further progress' threshold.<blockquote>趋势费率：与2020年2月大流行前的水平相比，美国就业人数仍减少570万。美联储没有具体量化“实质性的进一步进展”意味着什么；市场参与者认为，至少，这应该意味着当前趋势的延续，即使趋势利率没有改善。7月数据短期趋势改善；7月份的3个月趋势利率为832k（相比之下，截至6月份的3个月趋势为607k）；7月份的6个月趋势利率为681k（而截至6月份的3个月为563k）；但7月份的12个月趋势率为60.5万（截至6月份的12个月为67万）。如果8月份72.8万的共识预期得以实现，3个月和6个月趋势利率将再次改善，可能为美联储官员提供证据，证明在实现“实质性进一步进展”阈值方面取得了累积进展。</blockquote> WAGES:&nbsp;Average hourly earnings are seen rising +0.3% M/M (prev. +0.4% M/M), though the annualized measure is seen unchanged at 4.0% Y/Y; the average workweek is expected to be unchanged at 34.8hrs. Analysts will be carefully monitoring the average hourly earnings measures; the argument is that higher prices may stoke consumer inflation expectations, as seen in recent consumer confidence reports, and will result in higher compensation as workers demand more cash amid rising prices; analysts say that this would add to evidence that inflation is more persistent than the Fed is currently admitting to.<blockquote>工资：平均每小时收入预计将增长+0.3%（上一次为+0.4%），尽管年化指标预计同比增长4.0%；平均每周工作时间预计将保持在34.8小时不变。分析师将仔细监控平均每小时收入指标；其论点是，正如最近的消费者信心报告所示，价格上涨可能会引发消费者通胀预期，并将导致更高的薪酬，因为工人在价格上涨的情况下需要更多现金；分析师表示，这将进一步证明通胀比美联储目前承认的更持久。</blockquote> ADP:&nbsp;The private payrolls survey by ADP disappointed expectations, showing just 374k jobs were added to the US economy in August; analysts were expecting 613k, following the (also) disappointing 326k it reported in July. ADP attributed the weak August report to the Delta variant; Moody's Analytics said \"the Delta variant appears to have dented the job market recovery,\" but \"job growth remains strong, but well-off the pace of recent months, and job growth remains inextricably tied to the path of the pandemic.\" Fed officials have recently been more sanguine on the impact of Delta, although some officials have argued that the Fed is still capable of tweaking policy if the pandemic once again became more persistent.NOTE:The ADP data uses previous official BLS data within its methodology; that July BLS data was strong relative to expectations, so does allude to a more tepid pace of hiring in August, although desks continue to note the tenuous relationship that the ADP data has in signalling the official BLS data; last month, for instance, the ADP flagged a weaker jobs report, although the official data surprised to the upside.<blockquote>ADP：ADP的私人就业调查令人失望，显示8月份美国经济仅增加了37.4万个就业岗位；继7月份报告的（同样）令人失望的32.6万之后，分析师预计为61.3万。ADP将8月报告疲软归因于德尔塔变异毒株；穆迪分析公司表示，“德尔塔变异毒株似乎削弱了就业市场的复苏”，但“就业增长仍然强劲，但近几个月的速度很好，就业增长仍然与大流行的路径密不可分。”美联储官员最近对达美航空的影响更加乐观，尽管一些官员认为，如果疫情再次变得更加持续，美联储仍然有能力调整政策。注：ADP数据在其方法中使用了以前的BLS官方数据；7月份的BLS数据相对于预期强劲，因此确实暗示了8月份的招聘速度更加不温不火，尽管各部门继续注意到ADP数据与BLS官方数据的信号之间的脆弱关系；例如，上个月，ADP显示就业报告疲软，尽管官方数据出人意料地上升。</blockquote> INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS: Weekly claims data that coincides with the traditional BLS survey window showed claims falling to a post-pandemic low at 349k; the four-week moving average also declined relative to the July survey window, both boding well for the official jobs report. The continuing claims data which coincides with the traditional BLS survey window also fell to a post-pandemic low at 2.862mln (vs 3.296mln heading into the July jobs data). Pantheon Macroeconomics said that the claims numbers are now finally free of the distortions caused by the automakers' retooling shutdowns and the trend is still falling, which suggests that the surge in COVID cases had not yet triggered an increase in layoffs. \"These data, however, tell us nothing about the pace of gross hiring, and it’s entirely possible that firms’&nbsp; first reaction to the Delta wave has been to slow the pace of recruitment, before taking the more difficult decision to let go existing staff,\" Pantheon said, \"still, these data are encouraging.\" Other desks also point out that the claims data only gives insight into workers being laid off (and is essentially corroborated by Challenger's lay-offs data, which fell to the lowest since June 1997), whereas some argue that the labour market weakness seen of late is likely a function of slowing hiring amid the spread of the Delta variant, which is more reflected in surveys.<blockquote>首次申请失业救济人数：与传统BLS调查窗口一致的每周申请数据显示，申请人数降至大流行后的低点349k；相对于7月份的调查窗口，四周移动平均线也有所下降，这都是官方就业报告的好兆头。与传统的BLS调查窗口一致的持续申领数据也降至大流行后的低点286.2万人（7月份就业数据为329.6万人）。Pantheon Macroeconomics表示，索赔人数现在终于摆脱了汽车制造商重组停工造成的扭曲，而且趋势仍在下降，这表明新冠病例激增尚未引发裁员增加。“然而，这些数据并没有告诉我们有关总招聘速度的任何信息，而且企业对三角洲浪潮的第一反应完全有可能是放慢招聘速度，然后再做出解雇现有员工的更困难的决定，”万神殿表示，“尽管如此，这些数据还是令人鼓舞的。”其他部门还指出，索赔数据只能让人们深入了解被解雇的工人（挑战者的裁员数据基本上证实了这一点，该数据降至1997年6月以来的最低水平），而一些人则认为，最近出现的劳动力市场疲软可能是德尔塔变异毒株蔓延导致招聘放缓的结果，这在调查中得到了更多反映。</blockquote> BUSINESS SURVEYS:&nbsp;The business survey data only offers a partial glimpse of the labour market this month, given that the Services ISM and Markit's Final Services PMI for August are both set for release after the jobs report (NOTE: the flash services data from Markit showed employment falling by 2.5 points to 50.8). The ISM manufacturing report saw its employment sub-index tumble by almost 4 points into contractionary territory at 49.0, with the survey noting that new surges of COVID-19 were adding to pandemic-related issues, like worker absenteeism, short-term shutdowns due to parts shortages, as well as difficulties in filling open positions and overseas supply chain problems. That said, the report also said that companies were still struggling to meet labour-management plans, but despite a contracting index, there were positive signs compared to recent months, partly mitigating the gloom implied by the index itself. Meanwhile, Markit's manufacturing PMI alluded to employment growth easing as firms struggled to retain staff and find suitable candidates for current vacancies.<blockquote>商业调查：鉴于服务业ISM和Markit 8月份最终服务业PMI均将在就业报告发布后发布，商业调查数据仅提供了本月劳动力市场的部分情况（注：Markit的服务业数据显示就业率下降2.5点至50.8）。ISM制造业报告显示，其就业分类指数下跌近4个点，至49.0的收缩区域，调查指出，新一轮的COVID-19激增加剧了与大流行相关的问题，如工人缺勤、因零部件短缺而导致的短期停工，以及填补空缺职位的困难和海外供应链问题。尽管如此，报告还表示，企业仍在努力满足劳资计划，但尽管指数收缩，但与近几个月相比仍有积极迹象，部分缓解了指数本身隐含的悲观情绪。与此同时，Markit的制造业PMI暗示就业增长放缓，因为企业难以留住员工并为当前职位空缺寻找合适的候选人。</blockquote> ARGUING FOR A WEAKER-THAN-EXPECTED REPORT:<blockquote>主张报告弱于预期：</blockquote> <ul> <li>Delta variant.&nbsp;Unlike in the first month of the covid resurgence, the Delta variant now appears to be affecting services consumption and the labor market. The revival of the CDC’s mask recommendation on July 27 occurred after the July payroll survey week had ended, which would be consistent with a drag in tomorrow’s report despite the strong gains in the previous one. As shown in the left panel of Exhibit 1, restaurant seatings on Open Table pulled back at the turn of the month, falling to 89% of their 2019 levels during the August survey week, compared to 95% in the July survey week. This would argue for a pause or pullback in US leisure and hospitality employment in tomorrow’s report. Additionally, as shown in the right panel, rising infection rates were associated with weaker employment growth in the state cross-section of the Homebase dataset, consistent with a negative Delta impact on labor demand, labor supply, or both.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e6cda55cde31266e2ae8030d47c7fd2\" tg-width=\"1059\" tg-height=\"499\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><blockquote><ul><li>德尔塔变异毒株.与新冠疫情卷土重来的第一个月不同，德尔塔变异毒株现在似乎正在影响服务消费和劳动力市场。CDC于7月27日恢复了口罩建议，发生在7月就业调查周结束后，这将与明天报告的拖累一致，尽管前一份报告强劲上涨。如图表1的左图所示，开放式餐桌上的餐厅座位在本月初有所回落，在8月调查周降至2019年水平的89%，而7月调查周为95%。这将在明天的报告中证明美国休闲和酒店业就业暂停或回落。此外，如右图所示，在Homebase数据集的州横截面中，感染率上升与就业增长疲软相关，这与对劳动力需求、劳动力供应或两者的负面Delta影响一致。</li></ul></blockquote> <ul> <li>Big Data.&nbsp;High-frequency data on the labor market were disappointing between the July and August survey weeks (see Exhibit 2), with all of the indicators we track consistent with a slowdown from the 943k July pace.

if the consensus is correct, it may offer further accumulated evidence that the labor market is making progress towards the Fed's 'substantial' threshold where it will feel comfortable in scaling back its asset purchases, according toNewsquawk..<blockquote>摘要：市场普遍预计8月份招聘步伐将降温，尤其是在周三公布灾难性的ADP报告之后，尽管短期趋势利率仍有可能改善；据toNewsquawk称，如果共识是正确的，它可能会提供进一步积累的证据，表明劳动力市场正在朝着美联储的“实质性”门槛取得进展，美联储将放心缩减资产购买规模。</blockquote> Key expectations:<blockquote>关键期望：</blockquote> <ul> <li>Headline non-farm payrolls are expected to print 725k (prev. 943k).</li> <li>The unemployment rate is expected to decline by 0.2% to 5.2%, although this figure may not give a true reflection of the labor market;</li> <li>Analysts will be focused on the participation rate (which rose to 61.7% in July from 61.6% in June vs 63.2% pre-pandemic), the U6 measure of underemployment (which fell to 9.2% in July from 9.8% in June vs 7.0% pre-pandemic), and the employment-population ratio (which rose to 58.4% in July from 58.0% in June vs 61.1% pre-pandemic).</li> <li>Average hourly earnings are expected to rise 0.3% M/M, down from 0.4% in July, and 4.0% Y/Y.</li> </ul> Labor market gauges have been mixed in August:&nbsp;while ADP's private payrolls disappointed expectations (again), the weekly initial jobless claims and continuing claims fell to a new post-pandemic low. Other metrics, however, offer a gloomier assessment: the ISM and Markit manufacturing surveys allude to a cooling in labor market conditions, with the Delta variant being cited as a reason for the softer pace of hiring. Given that the jobs data will be framed within the context of the Fed's policy reaction, many analysts have been suggesting a'good data is bad for the prospects of further accommodation'playbook, and vice versa; however, this strategy was not seen in wake of the disappointing ADP data this week. Many argue that the market has already moved on from the timing of the taper announcement – assumed to be in Q4 before implementation late this year or early next – and focus is on the pace of the reductions and the duration of the taper, and the August jobs data is not likely to inform the latter two meaningfully.<blockquote><ul><li>总体非农就业人数预计将印刷72.5万（上一页。94.3万）。</li><li>失业率预计将下降0.2%至5.2%，尽管这一数字可能无法真实反映劳动力市场；</li><li>分析师将关注参与率（从6月份的61.6%升至7月份的61.7%，而大流行前为63.2%）、U6就业不足指标（从6月份的9.8%降至7月份的9.2%，大流行前为7.0%）和就业人口比率（从6月份的58.0%升至7月份的58.4%，大流行前为61.1%）。</li><li>平均时薪预计将环比增长0.3%，低于7月份的0.4%，同比增长4.0%。</li></ul>八月份劳动力市场指标好坏参半：尽管ADP的私人就业人数（再次）低于预期，但每周首次申请失业救济人数和持续申请失业救济人数降至大流行后的新低。然而，其他指标提供了更悲观的评估：ISM和Markit制造业调查暗示劳动力市场状况降温，德尔塔变异毒株被认为是招聘步伐放缓的原因。鉴于就业数据将在美联储政策反应的背景下制定，许多分析师一直建议“良好的数据不利于进一步宽松的前景”剧本，反之亦然；然而，在本周令人失望的ADP数据之后，这一策略并没有出现。许多人认为，市场已经从宣布缩减规模的时间——假设是在今年年底或明年初实施之前的第四季度——焦点是削减的速度和缩减规模的持续时间，以及8月份的就业数据不太可能为后两者提供有意义的信息。</blockquote> While Consensus remains surprisingly bullish, Goldman's forecast was recently slashed to just 500K, about a third lower than consensus of 725K. As the bank explains, \"while the seasonal hurdle is relatively low in August, the monthly pace and cross-section of Big Data employment indicators are consistent with a sizeable drag from the Delta variant.\" Specifically, the bank notes that high-frequency data on the labor marketwere disappointing between the July and August survey weeks&nbsp;with all of the indicators we track consistent with a slowdown from the 943k July pace. Only one of the five measures Goldman tracks indicated an underlying job gain in excess of consensus (Census Small Business Pulse, +0.8mn). On the positive side, Goldman expects the reopening of schools to boost job growth by around 150k in tomorrow’s report.<blockquote>尽管市场共识仍然出人意料地看涨，但高盛的预测最近被削减至仅50万，比725K的共识低约三分之一。正如该行解释的那样，“虽然8月份的季节性障碍相对较低，但大数据就业指标的月度速度和横截面与德尔塔变异毒株的相当大的拖累一致。”具体而言，该行指出，劳动力市场高频数据在七月和八月的调查周之间令人失望我们跟踪的所有指标都与7月份94.3万辆的增速放缓一致。高盛追踪的五项指标中，只有一项表明潜在的就业增长超过了共识（Census Small Business Pulse，+0.8 0万）。从积极的一面来看，高盛预计学校的重新开放将在明天的报告中促进约15万个就业岗位的增长。</blockquote> POLICY FOCUS: Many Fed officials want to see further accumulated evidence that the labor market is progressing towards its 'substantial further progress' threshold for tapering asset purchases before they commit to a timeline for scaling back these purchases, as well as the modalities of how the taper will look. The August jobs data will be eyed within this context, with analysts suggesting that a weak reading will allow the Fed more time to shape its views, while a stronger-than-expected report will add urgency to a process that some Fed officials want wrapped-up by mid-2022. The Fed has been framing the post-pandemic upside in inflation as transitory, although not everyone is convinced.<blockquote>政策重点：许多美联储官员希望在承诺缩减资产购买的时间表以及缩减资产购买的方式之前，看到进一步积累的证据表明劳动力市场正在朝着缩减资产购买的“实质性进一步进展”门槛迈进。人们将在此背景下关注8月份的就业数据，分析师表示，疲弱的数据将让美联储有更多时间来形成其观点，而强于预期的报告将为一些美联储官员希望结束的进程增加紧迫性——到2022年中期。美联储一直将大流行后通胀上行视为暂时的，尽管并非所有人都相信。</blockquote> SLACK:&nbsp;Headline non-farm payrolls are expected to print 728k (prev. 943k) in August; private payrolls are seen at 665k (prev. 703k), and government payrolls are seen at 25k (prev. 27k). The unemployment rate is expected to decline to 5.2% from 5.4%; many officials do not think that the headline unemployment rate is truly indicative of the health of the labour market, and in recent months, have been monitoring measures like the participation rate (which rose to 61.7% in July from 61.6% in June vs 63.2% pre-pandemic), the U6 measure of underemployment (which fell to 9.2% in July from 9.8% in June vs 7.0% pre-pandemic), and the employment-population ratio (which rose to 58.4% in July from 58.0% in June vs 61.1% pre-pandemic) which all offer better insight into the progress being made in eroding the slack seen since the pandemic.<blockquote>松弛：整体非农就业人数预计为72.8万人（前值。94.3万）8月；私人就业人数为66.5万（上一页。703k），政府工资为25k（上一页。27k）.失业率预计将从5.4%下降至5.2%；许多官员并不认为总体失业率真正表明了劳动力市场的健康状况，近几个月来，他们一直在监测参与率（从6月份的61.6%上升到7月份的61.7%，而疫情前为63.2%）、U6就业不足指标（从6月份的9.8%下降到7月份的9.2%，而疫情前为7.0%）和就业人口比率（从6月份的58.0%上升到7月份的58.4%，而疫情前为61.1%）等指标，这些指标都可以更好地了解自疫情以来在消除疲软方面取得的进展。</blockquote> TREND RATES:&nbsp;There are still 5.7mln fewer Americans in employment compared to pre-pandemic levels in February 2020. The Fed does not specifically quantify what 'substantial further progress' means; market participants have argued that, at minimum, it should mean a continuation of current trends, if not an improving trend rate. The short-term trends improved in the July data; the 3-month trend rate stood at 832k in July (vs 607k trend in the 3-months through June); the 6-month trend rate stood at 681k in July (vs the 563k in the 3-months through June); but the 12-month trend rate was 605k in July (vs 670k in the 12-months through June). If the August consensus expectation of 728k was realised, the 3- month and 6-month trend rates would improve again, possibly giving Fed officials evidence of accumulated progress towards the 'substantial further progress' threshold.<blockquote>趋势费率：与2020年2月大流行前的水平相比，美国就业人数仍减少570万。美联储没有具体量化“实质性的进一步进展”意味着什么；市场参与者认为，至少，这应该意味着当前趋势的延续，即使趋势利率没有改善。7月数据短期趋势改善；7月份的3个月趋势利率为832k（相比之下，截至6月份的3个月趋势为607k）；7月份的6个月趋势利率为681k（而截至6月份的3个月为563k）；但7月份的12个月趋势率为60.5万（截至6月份的12个月为67万）。如果8月份72.8万的共识预期得以实现，3个月和6个月趋势利率将再次改善，可能为美联储官员提供证据，证明在实现“实质性进一步进展”阈值方面取得了累积进展。</blockquote> WAGES:&nbsp;Average hourly earnings are seen rising +0.3% M/M (prev. +0.4% M/M), though the annualized measure is seen unchanged at 4.0% Y/Y; the average workweek is expected to be unchanged at 34.8hrs. Analysts will be carefully monitoring the average hourly earnings measures; the argument is that higher prices may stoke consumer inflation expectations, as seen in recent consumer confidence reports, and will result in higher compensation as workers demand more cash amid rising prices; analysts say that this would add to evidence that inflation is more persistent than the Fed is currently admitting to.<blockquote>工资：平均每小时收入预计将增长+0.3%（上一次为+0.4%），尽管年化指标预计同比增长4.0%；平均每周工作时间预计将保持在34.8小时不变。分析师将仔细监控平均每小时收入指标；其论点是，正如最近的消费者信心报告所示，价格上涨可能会引发消费者通胀预期，并将导致更高的薪酬，因为工人在价格上涨的情况下需要更多现金；分析师表示，这将进一步证明通胀比美联储目前承认的更持久。</blockquote> ADP:&nbsp;The private payrolls survey by ADP disappointed expectations, showing just 374k jobs were added to the US economy in August; analysts were expecting 613k, following the (also) disappointing 326k it reported in July. ADP attributed the weak August report to the Delta variant; Moody's Analytics said \"the Delta variant appears to have dented the job market recovery,\" but \"job growth remains strong, but well-off the pace of recent months, and job growth remains inextricably tied to the path of the pandemic.\" Fed officials have recently been more sanguine on the impact of Delta, although some officials have argued that the Fed is still capable of tweaking policy if the pandemic once again became more persistent.NOTE:The ADP data uses previous official BLS data within its methodology; that July BLS data was strong relative to expectations, so does allude to a more tepid pace of hiring in August, although desks continue to note the tenuous relationship that the ADP data has in signalling the official BLS data; last month, for instance, the ADP flagged a weaker jobs report, although the official data surprised to the upside.<blockquote>ADP：ADP的私人就业调查令人失望，显示8月份美国经济仅增加了37.4万个就业岗位；继7月份报告的（同样）令人失望的32.6万之后，分析师预计为61.3万。ADP将8月报告疲软归因于德尔塔变异毒株；穆迪分析公司表示，“德尔塔变异毒株似乎削弱了就业市场的复苏”，但“就业增长仍然强劲，但近几个月的速度很好，就业增长仍然与大流行的路径密不可分。”美联储官员最近对达美航空的影响更加乐观，尽管一些官员认为，如果疫情再次变得更加持续，美联储仍然有能力调整政策。注：ADP数据在其方法中使用了以前的BLS官方数据；7月份的BLS数据相对于预期强劲，因此确实暗示了8月份的招聘速度更加不温不火，尽管各部门继续注意到ADP数据与BLS官方数据的信号之间的脆弱关系；例如，上个月，ADP显示就业报告疲软，尽管官方数据出人意料地上升。</blockquote> INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS: Weekly claims data that coincides with the traditional BLS survey window showed claims falling to a post-pandemic low at 349k; the four-week moving average also declined relative to the July survey window, both boding well for the official jobs report. The continuing claims data which coincides with the traditional BLS survey window also fell to a post-pandemic low at 2.862mln (vs 3.296mln heading into the July jobs data). Pantheon Macroeconomics said that the claims numbers are now finally free of the distortions caused by the automakers' retooling shutdowns and the trend is still falling, which suggests that the surge in COVID cases had not yet triggered an increase in layoffs. \"These data, however, tell us nothing about the pace of gross hiring, and it’s entirely possible that firms’&nbsp; first reaction to the Delta wave has been to slow the pace of recruitment, before taking the more difficult decision to let go existing staff,\" Pantheon said, \"still, these data are encouraging.\" Other desks also point out that the claims data only gives insight into workers being laid off (and is essentially corroborated by Challenger's lay-offs data, which fell to the lowest since June 1997), whereas some argue that the labour market weakness seen of late is likely a function of slowing hiring amid the spread of the Delta variant, which is more reflected in surveys.<blockquote>首次申请失业救济人数：与传统BLS调查窗口一致的每周申请数据显示，申请人数降至大流行后的低点349k；相对于7月份的调查窗口，四周移动平均线也有所下降，这都是官方就业报告的好兆头。与传统的BLS调查窗口一致的持续申领数据也降至大流行后的低点286.2万人（7月份就业数据为329.6万人）。Pantheon Macroeconomics表示，索赔人数现在终于摆脱了汽车制造商重组停工造成的扭曲，而且趋势仍在下降，这表明新冠病例激增尚未引发裁员增加。“然而，这些数据并没有告诉我们有关总招聘速度的任何信息，而且企业对三角洲浪潮的第一反应完全有可能是放慢招聘速度，然后再做出解雇现有员工的更困难的决定，”万神殿表示，“尽管如此，这些数据还是令人鼓舞的。”其他部门还指出，索赔数据只能让人们深入了解被解雇的工人（挑战者的裁员数据基本上证实了这一点，该数据降至1997年6月以来的最低水平），而一些人则认为，最近出现的劳动力市场疲软可能是德尔塔变异毒株蔓延导致招聘放缓的结果，这在调查中得到了更多反映。</blockquote> BUSINESS SURVEYS:&nbsp;The business survey data only offers a partial glimpse of the labour market this month, given that the Services ISM and Markit's Final Services PMI for August are both set for release after the jobs report (NOTE: the flash services data from Markit showed employment falling by 2.5 points to 50.8). The ISM manufacturing report saw its employment sub-index tumble by almost 4 points into contractionary territory at 49.0, with the survey noting that new surges of COVID-19 were adding to pandemic-related issues, like worker absenteeism, short-term shutdowns due to parts shortages, as well as difficulties in filling open positions and overseas supply chain problems. That said, the report also said that companies were still struggling to meet labour-management plans, but despite a contracting index, there were positive signs compared to recent months, partly mitigating the gloom implied by the index itself. Meanwhile, Markit's manufacturing PMI alluded to employment growth easing as firms struggled to retain staff and find suitable candidates for current vacancies.<blockquote>商业调查：鉴于服务业ISM和Markit 8月份最终服务业PMI均将在就业报告发布后发布，商业调查数据仅提供了本月劳动力市场的部分情况（注：Markit的服务业数据显示就业率下降2.5点至50.8）。ISM制造业报告显示，其就业分类指数下跌近4个点，至49.0的收缩区域，调查指出，新一轮的COVID-19激增加剧了与大流行相关的问题，如工人缺勤、因零部件短缺而导致的短期停工，以及填补空缺职位的困难和海外供应链问题。尽管如此，报告还表示，企业仍在努力满足劳资计划，但尽管指数收缩，但与近几个月相比仍有积极迹象，部分缓解了指数本身隐含的悲观情绪。与此同时，Markit的制造业PMI暗示就业增长放缓，因为企业难以留住员工并为当前职位空缺寻找合适的候选人。</blockquote> ARGUING FOR A WEAKER-THAN-EXPECTED REPORT:<blockquote>主张报告弱于预期：</blockquote> <ul> <li>Delta variant.&nbsp;Unlike in the first month of the covid resurgence, the Delta variant now appears to be affecting services consumption and the labor market. The revival of the CDC’s mask recommendation on July 27 occurred after the July payroll survey week had ended, which would be consistent with a drag in tomorrow’s report despite the strong gains in the previous one. As shown in the left panel of Exhibit 1, restaurant seatings on Open Table pulled back at the turn of the month, falling to 89% of their 2019 levels during the August survey week, compared to 95% in the July survey week. This would argue for a pause or pullback in US leisure and hospitality employment in tomorrow’s report.

Other metrics, however, offer a gloomier assessment: the ISM and Markit manufacturing surveys allude to a cooling in labor market conditions, with the Delta variant being cited as a reason for the softer pace of hiring. Given that the jobs data will be framed within the context of the Fed's policy reaction, many analysts have been suggesting a'good data is bad for the prospects of further accommodation'playbook, and vice versa; however, this strategy was not seen in wake of the disappointing ADP data this week. Many argue that the market has already moved on from the timing of the taper announcement – assumed to be in Q4 before implementation late this year or early next – and focus is on the pace of the reductions and the duration of the taper, and the August jobs data is not likely to inform the latter two meaningfully.\nWhile Consensus remains surprisingly bullish, Goldman's forecast was recently slashed to just 500K, about a third lower than consensus of 725K. As the bank explains, \"while the seasonal hurdle is relatively low in August, the monthly pace and cross-section of Big Data employment indicators are consistent with a sizeable drag from the Delta variant.\" Specifically, the bank notes that high-frequency data on the labor marketwere disappointing between the July and August survey weeks with all of the indicators we track consistent with a slowdown from the 943k July pace. Only one of the five measures Goldman tracks indicated an underlying job gain in excess of consensus (Census Small Business Pulse, +0.8mn). On the positive side, Goldman expects the reopening of schools to boost job growth by around 150k in tomorrow’s report.\nPOLICY FOCUS: Many Fed officials want to see further accumulated evidence that the labor market is progressing towards its 'substantial further progress' threshold for tapering asset purchases before they commit to a timeline for scaling back these purchases, as well as the modalities of how the taper will look. The August jobs data will be eyed within this context, with analysts suggesting that a weak reading will allow the Fed more time to shape its views, while a stronger-than-expected report will add urgency to a process that some Fed officials want wrapped-up by mid-2022. The Fed has been framing the post-pandemic upside in inflation as transitory, although not everyone is convinced.\nSLACK: Headline non-farm payrolls are expected to print 728k (prev. 943k) in August; private payrolls are seen at 665k (prev. 703k), and government payrolls are seen at 25k (prev. 27k). The unemployment rate is expected to decline to 5.2% from 5.4%; many officials do not think that the headline unemployment rate is truly indicative of the health of the labour market, and in recent months, have been monitoring measures like the participation rate (which rose to 61.7% in July from 61.6% in June vs 63.2% pre-pandemic), the U6 measure of underemployment (which fell to 9.2% in July from 9.8% in June vs 7.0% pre-pandemic), and the employment-population ratio (which rose to 58.4% in July from 58.0% in June vs 61.1% pre-pandemic) which all offer better insight into the progress being made in eroding the slack seen since the pandemic.\nTREND RATES: There are still 5.7mln fewer Americans in employment compared to pre-pandemic levels in February 2020. The Fed does not specifically quantify what 'substantial further progress' means; market participants have argued that, at minimum, it should mean a continuation of current trends, if not an improving trend rate. The short-term trends improved in the July data; the 3-month trend rate stood at 832k in July (vs 607k trend in the 3-months through June); the 6-month trend rate stood at 681k in July (vs the 563k in the 3-months through June); but the 12-month trend rate was 605k in July (vs 670k in the 12-months through June). If the August consensus expectation of 728k was realised, the 3- month and 6-month trend rates would improve again, possibly giving Fed officials evidence of accumulated progress towards the 'substantial further progress' threshold.\nWAGES: Average hourly earnings are seen rising +0.3% M/M (prev. +0.4% M/M), though the annualized measure is seen unchanged at 4.0% Y/Y; the average workweek is expected to be unchanged at 34.8hrs.

The continuing claims data which coincides with the traditional BLS survey window also fell to a post-pandemic low at 2.862mln (vs 3.296mln heading into the July jobs data). Pantheon Macroeconomics said that the claims numbers are now finally free of the distortions caused by the automakers' retooling shutdowns and the trend is still falling, which suggests that the surge in COVID cases had not yet triggered an increase in layoffs. \"These data, however, tell us nothing about the pace of gross hiring, and it’s entirely possible that firms’  first reaction to the Delta wave has been to slow the pace of recruitment, before taking the more difficult decision to let go existing staff,\" Pantheon said, \"still, these data are encouraging.\" Other desks also point out that the claims data only gives insight into workers being laid off (and is essentially corroborated by Challenger's lay-offs data, which fell to the lowest since June 1997), whereas some argue that the labour market weakness seen of late is likely a function of slowing hiring amid the spread of the Delta variant, which is more reflected in surveys.\nBUSINESS SURVEYS: The business survey data only offers a partial glimpse of the labour market this month, given that the Services ISM and Markit's Final Services PMI for August are both set for release after the jobs report (NOTE: the flash services data from Markit showed employment falling by 2.5 points to 50.8). The ISM manufacturing report saw its employment sub-index tumble by almost 4 points into contractionary territory at 49.0, with the survey noting that new surges of COVID-19 were adding to pandemic-related issues, like worker absenteeism, short-term shutdowns due to parts shortages, as well as difficulties in filling open positions and overseas supply chain problems. That said, the report also said that companies were still struggling to meet labour-management plans, but despite a contracting index, there were positive signs compared to recent months, partly mitigating the gloom implied by the index itself. Meanwhile, Markit's manufacturing PMI alluded to employment growth easing as firms struggled to retain staff and find suitable candidates for current vacancies.\nARGUING FOR A WEAKER-THAN-EXPECTED REPORT:\n\nDelta variant. Unlike in the first month of the covid resurgence, the Delta variant now appears to be affecting services consumption and the labor market. The revival of the CDC’s mask recommendation on July 27 occurred after the July payroll survey week had ended, which would be consistent with a drag in tomorrow’s report despite the strong gains in the previous one. As shown in the left panel of Exhibit 1, restaurant seatings on Open Table pulled back at the turn of the month, falling to 89% of their 2019 levels during the August survey week, compared to 95% in the July survey week. This would argue for a pause or pullback in US leisure and hospitality employment in tomorrow’s report. Additionally, as shown in the right panel, rising infection rates were associated with weaker employment growth in the state cross-section of the Homebase dataset, consistent with a negative Delta impact on labor demand, labor supply, or both.\n\n\n\nBig Data. High-frequency data on the labor market were disappointing between the July and August survey weeks (see Exhibit 2), with all of the indicators we track consistent with a slowdown from the 943k July pace. Only one of the five measures we track indicates an underlying job gain in excess of consensus (Census Small Business Pulse, +0.8mn), though we acknowledge that the track record for Big Data indicators during the crisis has been mixed.\n\n\n\nADP. Private sector employment in the ADP report increased by 374k in August, below consensus expectations for a 625k gain. Because the statistical inputs to the ADP model probably boosted their jobs estimate, we believe the underlying ADP sample showed only modest gains in the month.\n\nARGUING FOR A STRONGER-THAN-EXPECTED REPORT\n\nSchool reopening. We expect a roughly 150k boost from the reopening of schools, as many teachers and support staff return for the fall school year (some of whom were not working at the end of the prior one). While a pace of reopening similar to August 2020would contribute nearly 300k jobs (mom sa), the level of education employment is 600khigher a year later, and we believe some janitors and support staff did not return due to capacity restrictions and hybrid teaching models.\nWind-down of Top-ups. The expiration of federal benefits in some states has boosted labor supply and job-finding rates. Federal benefits were partially or fully curtailed in half of US states (representing 29% of the outstanding job losses since the start of the pandemic) in June and early July. And encouragingly, continuing claims have continued to decline more quickly in these states (by roughly 150k relative to the trend in all other states in the August payroll month).\nSeasonality. The August seasonal hurdle is relatively low: the BLS adjustment factors generally assume a 100-200k decline in private payrolls (which exclude public schools),compared to +0.5mn over the previous four months.\nJob availability. The Conference Board labor differential—the difference between the percent of respondents saying jobs are plentiful and those saying jobs are hard to get—decreased by 1.3pt to +42.8 in August but remains at a high level. Additionally, job openings increased by 590k to a record high in June, according to the JOLTS report.\nJobless claims. Initial jobless claims edged down during the August payroll month,averaging 355k per week vs. 393k in July. Continuing claims also decreased, averaging2,840k in August vs. 3,140k in July. Across all employee programs including emergency benefits, continuing claims remained roughly unchanged between the payroll survey weeks.\n\n\nNEUTRAL/MIXED FACTORS:\n\nEmployer surveys. The employment component of the ISM Manufacturing Index fell into contractionary territory (-3.9pt to 49.0). The employment component of our manufacturing survey tracker also decreased (-0.8pt to 58.3), but the employment component of our services survey tracker increased (+0.1pt to 54.9). The employment component of the GSAI increased by 2.8pt to 70.0.\nJob cuts. Announced layoffs reported by Challenger, Gray & Christmas decreased by1% in August after decreasing by 13% in July (mom, SA by GS). Layoffs were at the lowest level since 1993.\n\nREACTION: Citi argues that given still net-long broader USD positions, any miss relative to the consensus may buoy Treasuries (as traders reason that the Fed would remain accommodative for longer), and any decline in yields would likely accelerate the Dollar's recent underperformance. \"A'goldilocks'release that entails a slight miss would be most ideal for risk assets heading into an extended weekend,\" but the bigger picture Citi says is that \"the broader taper narrative will not have long-lasting market implications given broad expectations for a Q4 conclusion; nonetheless, the interim run-up will see taper talk as a persistent albeit fading influence on market moves.\"","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".DJI":0.9,".SPX":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,"SPY":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":815989989,"gmtCreate":1630635292141,"gmtModify":1630635292141,"author":{"id":"3576842498816961","authorId":"3576842498816961","name":"OlWestyWin","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/db481c31dd0832af1496a9de72cd2c8a","vip":1,"crmLevel":12,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"wearingBadges":[],"authorIdStr":"3576842498816961","idStr":"3576842498816961"},"htmlText":"like n comment","listText":"like n comment","text":"like n comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":7,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/815989989","repostId":1109595556,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1109595556","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1630631097,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1109595556?lang=zh_CN&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-03 09:04","market":"us","language":"en","title":"August Payrolls Preview: It Will Be A Miss, The Question Is How Big<blockquote>8月就业前瞻：这将是一个失误，问题是有多大</blockquote>","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1109595556","media":"zerohedge","summary":"Summary:The consensus looks for the pace of hiring to cool in August, especially after Wednesday's d","content":"Summary:The consensus looks for the pace of hiring to cool in August, especially after Wednesday's disastrous ADP report, although the short-term trend rates are still likely to improve; if the consensus is correct, it may offer further accumulated evidence that the labor market is making progress towards the Fed's 'substantial' threshold where it will feel comfortable in scaling back its asset purchases, according toNewsquawk..<blockquote>摘要：市场普遍预计8月份招聘步伐将降温，尤其是在周三公布灾难性的ADP报告之后，尽管短期趋势利率仍有可能改善；据toNewsquawk称，如果共识是正确的，它可能会提供进一步积累的证据，表明劳动力市场正在朝着美联储的“实质性”门槛取得进展，美联储将放心缩减资产购买规模。</blockquote> Key expectations:<blockquote>关键期望：</blockquote> <ul> <li>Headline non-farm payrolls are expected to print 725k (prev. 943k).</li> <li>The unemployment rate is expected to decline by 0.2% to 5.2%, although this figure may not give a true reflection of the labor market;</li> <li>Analysts will be focused on the participation rate (which rose to 61.7% in July from 61.6% in June vs 63.2% pre-pandemic), the U6 measure of underemployment (which fell to 9.2% in July from 9.8% in June vs 7.0% pre-pandemic), and the employment-population ratio (which rose to 58.4% in July from 58.0% in June vs 61.1% pre-pandemic).</li> <li>Average hourly earnings are expected to rise 0.3% M/M, down from 0.4% in July, and 4.0% Y/Y.</li> </ul> Labor market gauges have been mixed in August:&nbsp;while ADP's private payrolls disappointed expectations (again), the weekly initial jobless claims and continuing claims fell to a new post-pandemic low. Other metrics, however, offer a gloomier assessment: the ISM and Markit manufacturing surveys allude to a cooling in labor market conditions, with the Delta variant being cited as a reason for the softer pace of hiring. Given that the jobs data will be framed within the context of the Fed's policy reaction, many analysts have been suggesting a'good data is bad for the prospects of further accommodation'playbook, and vice versa; however, this strategy was not seen in wake of the disappointing ADP data this week. Many argue that the market has already moved on from the timing of the taper announcement – assumed to be in Q4 before implementation late this year or early next – and focus is on the pace of the reductions and the duration of the taper, and the August jobs data is not likely to inform the latter two meaningfully.<blockquote><ul><li>总体非农就业人数预计将印刷72.5万（上一页。94.3万）。</li><li>失业率预计将下降0.2%至5.2%，尽管这一数字可能无法真实反映劳动力市场；</li><li>分析师将关注参与率（从6月份的61.6%升至7月份的61.7%，而大流行前为63.2%）、U6就业不足指标（从6月份的9.8%降至7月份的9.2%，大流行前为7.0%）和就业人口比率（从6月份的58.0%升至7月份的58.4%，大流行前为61.1%）。</li><li>平均时薪预计将环比增长0.3%，低于7月份的0.4%，同比增长4.0%。</li></ul>八月份劳动力市场指标好坏参半：尽管ADP的私人就业人数（再次）低于预期，但每周首次申请失业救济人数和持续申请失业救济人数降至大流行后的新低。然而，其他指标提供了更悲观的评估：ISM和Markit制造业调查暗示劳动力市场状况降温，德尔塔变异毒株被认为是招聘步伐放缓的原因。鉴于就业数据将在美联储政策反应的背景下制定，许多分析师一直建议“良好的数据不利于进一步宽松的前景”剧本，反之亦然；然而，在本周令人失望的ADP数据之后，这一策略并没有出现。许多人认为，市场已经从宣布缩减规模的时间——假设是在今年年底或明年初实施之前的第四季度——焦点是削减的速度和缩减规模的持续时间，以及8月份的就业数据不太可能为后两者提供有意义的信息。</blockquote> While Consensus remains surprisingly bullish, Goldman's forecast was recently slashed to just 500K, about a third lower than consensus of 725K. As the bank explains, \"while the seasonal hurdle is relatively low in August, the monthly pace and cross-section of Big Data employment indicators are consistent with a sizeable drag from the Delta variant.\" Specifically, the bank notes that high-frequency data on the labor marketwere disappointing between the July and August survey weeks&nbsp;with all of the indicators we track consistent with a slowdown from the 943k July pace. Only one of the five measures Goldman tracks indicated an underlying job gain in excess of consensus (Census Small Business Pulse, +0.8mn). On the positive side, Goldman expects the reopening of schools to boost job growth by around 150k in tomorrow’s report.<blockquote>尽管市场共识仍然出人意料地看涨，但高盛的预测最近被削减至仅50万，比725K的共识低约三分之一。正如该行解释的那样，“虽然8月份的季节性障碍相对较低，但大数据就业指标的月度速度和横截面与德尔塔变异毒株的相当大的拖累一致。”具体而言，该行指出，劳动力市场高频数据在七月和八月的调查周之间令人失望我们跟踪的所有指标都与7月份94.3万辆的增速放缓一致。高盛追踪的五项指标中，只有一项表明潜在的就业增长超过了共识（Census Small Business Pulse，+0.8 0万）。从积极的一面来看，高盛预计学校的重新开放将在明天的报告中促进约15万个就业岗位的增长。</blockquote> POLICY FOCUS: Many Fed officials want to see further accumulated evidence that the labor market is progressing towards its 'substantial further progress' threshold for tapering asset purchases before they commit to a timeline for scaling back these purchases, as well as the modalities of how the taper will look. The August jobs data will be eyed within this context, with analysts suggesting that a weak reading will allow the Fed more time to shape its views, while a stronger-than-expected report will add urgency to a process that some Fed officials want wrapped-up by mid-2022. The Fed has been framing the post-pandemic upside in inflation as transitory, although not everyone is convinced.<blockquote>政策重点：许多美联储官员希望在承诺缩减资产购买的时间表以及缩减资产购买的方式之前，看到进一步积累的证据表明劳动力市场正在朝着缩减资产购买的“实质性进一步进展”门槛迈进。人们将在此背景下关注8月份的就业数据，分析师表示，疲弱的数据将让美联储有更多时间来形成其观点，而强于预期的报告将为一些美联储官员希望结束的进程增加紧迫性——到2022年中期。美联储一直将大流行后通胀上行视为暂时的，尽管并非所有人都相信。</blockquote> SLACK:&nbsp;Headline non-farm payrolls are expected to print 728k (prev. 943k) in August; private payrolls are seen at 665k (prev. 703k), and government payrolls are seen at 25k (prev. 27k). The unemployment rate is expected to decline to 5.2% from 5.4%; many officials do not think that the headline unemployment rate is truly indicative of the health of the labour market, and in recent months, have been monitoring measures like the participation rate (which rose to 61.7% in July from 61.6% in June vs 63.2% pre-pandemic), the U6 measure of underemployment (which fell to 9.2% in July from 9.8% in June vs 7.0% pre-pandemic), and the employment-population ratio (which rose to 58.4% in July from 58.0% in June vs 61.1% pre-pandemic) which all offer better insight into the progress being made in eroding the slack seen since the pandemic.<blockquote>松弛：整体非农就业人数预计为72.8万人（前值。94.3万）8月；私人就业人数为66.5万（上一页。703k），政府工资为25k（上一页。27k）.失业率预计将从5.4%下降至5.2%；许多官员并不认为总体失业率真正表明了劳动力市场的健康状况，近几个月来，他们一直在监测参与率（从6月份的61.6%上升到7月份的61.7%，而疫情前为63.2%）、U6就业不足指标（从6月份的9.8%下降到7月份的9.2%，而疫情前为7.0%）和就业人口比率（从6月份的58.0%上升到7月份的58.4%，而疫情前为61.1%）等指标，这些指标都可以更好地了解自疫情以来在消除疲软方面取得的进展。</blockquote> TREND RATES:&nbsp;There are still 5.7mln fewer Americans in employment compared to pre-pandemic levels in February 2020. The Fed does not specifically quantify what 'substantial further progress' means; market participants have argued that, at minimum, it should mean a continuation of current trends, if not an improving trend rate. The short-term trends improved in the July data; the 3-month trend rate stood at 832k in July (vs 607k trend in the 3-months through June); the 6-month trend rate stood at 681k in July (vs the 563k in the 3-months through June); but the 12-month trend rate was 605k in July (vs 670k in the 12-months through June). If the August consensus expectation of 728k was realised, the 3- month and 6-month trend rates would improve again, possibly giving Fed officials evidence of accumulated progress towards the 'substantial further progress' threshold.<blockquote>趋势费率：与2020年2月大流行前的水平相比，美国就业人数仍减少570万。美联储没有具体量化“实质性的进一步进展”意味着什么；市场参与者认为，至少，这应该意味着当前趋势的延续，即使趋势利率没有改善。7月数据短期趋势改善；7月份的3个月趋势利率为832k（相比之下，截至6月份的3个月趋势为607k）；7月份的6个月趋势利率为681k（而截至6月份的3个月为563k）；但7月份的12个月趋势率为60.5万（截至6月份的12个月为67万）。如果8月份72.8万的共识预期得以实现，3个月和6个月趋势利率将再次改善，可能为美联储官员提供证据，证明在实现“实质性进一步进展”阈值方面取得了累积进展。</blockquote> WAGES:&nbsp;Average hourly earnings are seen rising +0.3% M/M (prev. +0.4% M/M), though the annualized measure is seen unchanged at 4.0% Y/Y; the average workweek is expected to be unchanged at 34.8hrs. Analysts will be carefully monitoring the average hourly earnings measures; the argument is that higher prices may stoke consumer inflation expectations, as seen in recent consumer confidence reports, and will result in higher compensation as workers demand more cash amid rising prices; analysts say that this would add to evidence that inflation is more persistent than the Fed is currently admitting to.<blockquote>工资：平均每小时收入预计将增长+0.3%（上一次为+0.4%），尽管年化指标预计同比增长4.0%；平均每周工作时间预计将保持在34.8小时不变。分析师将仔细监控平均每小时收入指标；其论点是，正如最近的消费者信心报告所示，价格上涨可能会引发消费者通胀预期，并将导致更高的薪酬，因为工人在价格上涨的情况下需要更多现金；分析师表示，这将进一步证明通胀比美联储目前承认的更持久。</blockquote> ADP:&nbsp;The private payrolls survey by ADP disappointed expectations, showing just 374k jobs were added to the US economy in August; analysts were expecting 613k, following the (also) disappointing 326k it reported in July. ADP attributed the weak August report to the Delta variant; Moody's Analytics said \"the Delta variant appears to have dented the job market recovery,\" but \"job growth remains strong, but well-off the pace of recent months, and job growth remains inextricably tied to the path of the pandemic.\" Fed officials have recently been more sanguine on the impact of Delta, although some officials have argued that the Fed is still capable of tweaking policy if the pandemic once again became more persistent.NOTE:The ADP data uses previous official BLS data within its methodology; that July BLS data was strong relative to expectations, so does allude to a more tepid pace of hiring in August, although desks continue to note the tenuous relationship that the ADP data has in signalling the official BLS data; last month, for instance, the ADP flagged a weaker jobs report, although the official data surprised to the upside.<blockquote>ADP：ADP的私人就业调查令人失望，显示8月份美国经济仅增加了37.4万个就业岗位；继7月份报告的（同样）令人失望的32.6万之后，分析师预计为61.3万。ADP将8月报告疲软归因于德尔塔变异毒株；穆迪分析公司表示，“德尔塔变异毒株似乎削弱了就业市场的复苏”，但“就业增长仍然强劲，但近几个月的速度很好，就业增长仍然与大流行的路径密不可分。”美联储官员最近对达美航空的影响更加乐观，尽管一些官员认为，如果疫情再次变得更加持续，美联储仍然有能力调整政策。注：ADP数据在其方法中使用了以前的BLS官方数据；7月份的BLS数据相对于预期强劲，因此确实暗示了8月份的招聘速度更加不温不火，尽管各部门继续注意到ADP数据与BLS官方数据的信号之间的脆弱关系；例如，上个月，ADP显示就业报告疲软，尽管官方数据出人意料地上升。</blockquote> INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS: Weekly claims data that coincides with the traditional BLS survey window showed claims falling to a post-pandemic low at 349k; the four-week moving average also declined relative to the July survey window, both boding well for the official jobs report. The continuing claims data which coincides with the traditional BLS survey window also fell to a post-pandemic low at 2.862mln (vs 3.296mln heading into the July jobs data). Pantheon Macroeconomics said that the claims numbers are now finally free of the distortions caused by the automakers' retooling shutdowns and the trend is still falling, which suggests that the surge in COVID cases had not yet triggered an increase in layoffs. \"These data, however, tell us nothing about the pace of gross hiring, and it’s entirely possible that firms’&nbsp; first reaction to the Delta wave has been to slow the pace of recruitment, before taking the more difficult decision to let go existing staff,\" Pantheon said, \"still, these data are encouraging.\" Other desks also point out that the claims data only gives insight into workers being laid off (and is essentially corroborated by Challenger's lay-offs data, which fell to the lowest since June 1997), whereas some argue that the labour market weakness seen of late is likely a function of slowing hiring amid the spread of the Delta variant, which is more reflected in surveys.<blockquote>首次申请失业救济人数：与传统BLS调查窗口一致的每周申请数据显示，申请人数降至大流行后的低点349k；相对于7月份的调查窗口，四周移动平均线也有所下降，这都是官方就业报告的好兆头。与传统的BLS调查窗口一致的持续申领数据也降至大流行后的低点286.2万人（7月份就业数据为329.6万人）。Pantheon Macroeconomics表示，索赔人数现在终于摆脱了汽车制造商重组停工造成的扭曲，而且趋势仍在下降，这表明新冠病例激增尚未引发裁员增加。“然而，这些数据并没有告诉我们有关总招聘速度的任何信息，而且企业对三角洲浪潮的第一反应完全有可能是放慢招聘速度，然后再做出解雇现有员工的更困难的决定，”万神殿表示，“尽管如此，这些数据还是令人鼓舞的。”其他部门还指出，索赔数据只能让人们深入了解被解雇的工人（挑战者的裁员数据基本上证实了这一点，该数据降至1997年6月以来的最低水平），而一些人则认为，最近出现的劳动力市场疲软可能是德尔塔变异毒株蔓延导致招聘放缓的结果，这在调查中得到了更多反映。</blockquote> BUSINESS SURVEYS:&nbsp;The business survey data only offers a partial glimpse of the labour market this month, given that the Services ISM and Markit's Final Services PMI for August are both set for release after the jobs report (NOTE: the flash services data from Markit showed employment falling by 2.5 points to 50.8). The ISM manufacturing report saw its employment sub-index tumble by almost 4 points into contractionary territory at 49.0, with the survey noting that new surges of COVID-19 were adding to pandemic-related issues, like worker absenteeism, short-term shutdowns due to parts shortages, as well as difficulties in filling open positions and overseas supply chain problems. That said, the report also said that companies were still struggling to meet labour-management plans, but despite a contracting index, there were positive signs compared to recent months, partly mitigating the gloom implied by the index itself. Meanwhile, Markit's manufacturing PMI alluded to employment growth easing as firms struggled to retain staff and find suitable candidates for current vacancies.<blockquote>商业调查：鉴于服务业ISM和Markit 8月份最终服务业PMI均将在就业报告发布后发布，商业调查数据仅提供了本月劳动力市场的部分情况（注：Markit的服务业数据显示就业率下降2.5点至50.8）。ISM制造业报告显示，其就业分类指数下跌近4个点，至49.0的收缩区域，调查指出，新一轮的COVID-19激增加剧了与大流行相关的问题，如工人缺勤、因零部件短缺而导致的短期停工，以及填补空缺职位的困难和海外供应链问题。尽管如此，报告还表示，企业仍在努力满足劳资计划，但尽管指数收缩，但与近几个月相比仍有积极迹象，部分缓解了指数本身隐含的悲观情绪。与此同时，Markit的制造业PMI暗示就业增长放缓，因为企业难以留住员工并为当前职位空缺寻找合适的候选人。</blockquote> ARGUING FOR A WEAKER-THAN-EXPECTED REPORT:<blockquote>主张报告弱于预期：</blockquote> <ul> <li>Delta variant.&nbsp;Unlike in the first month of the covid resurgence, the Delta variant now appears to be affecting services consumption and the labor market.

if the consensus is correct, it may offer further accumulated evidence that the labor market is making progress towards the Fed's 'substantial' threshold where it will feel comfortable in scaling back its asset purchases, according toNewsquawk..<blockquote>摘要：市场普遍预计8月份招聘步伐将降温，尤其是在周三公布灾难性的ADP报告之后，尽管短期趋势利率仍有可能改善；据toNewsquawk称，如果共识是正确的，它可能会提供进一步积累的证据，表明劳动力市场正在朝着美联储的“实质性”门槛取得进展，美联储将放心缩减资产购买规模。</blockquote> Key expectations:<blockquote>关键期望：</blockquote> <ul> <li>Headline non-farm payrolls are expected to print 725k (prev. 943k).</li> <li>The unemployment rate is expected to decline by 0.2% to 5.2%, although this figure may not give a true reflection of the labor market;</li> <li>Analysts will be focused on the participation rate (which rose to 61.7% in July from 61.6% in June vs 63.2% pre-pandemic), the U6 measure of underemployment (which fell to 9.2% in July from 9.8% in June vs 7.0% pre-pandemic), and the employment-population ratio (which rose to 58.4% in July from 58.0% in June vs 61.1% pre-pandemic).</li> <li>Average hourly earnings are expected to rise 0.3% M/M, down from 0.4% in July, and 4.0% Y/Y.</li> </ul> Labor market gauges have been mixed in August:&nbsp;while ADP's private payrolls disappointed expectations (again), the weekly initial jobless claims and continuing claims fell to a new post-pandemic low. Other metrics, however, offer a gloomier assessment: the ISM and Markit manufacturing surveys allude to a cooling in labor market conditions, with the Delta variant being cited as a reason for the softer pace of hiring. Given that the jobs data will be framed within the context of the Fed's policy reaction, many analysts have been suggesting a'good data is bad for the prospects of further accommodation'playbook, and vice versa; however, this strategy was not seen in wake of the disappointing ADP data this week. Many argue that the market has already moved on from the timing of the taper announcement – assumed to be in Q4 before implementation late this year or early next – and focus is on the pace of the reductions and the duration of the taper, and the August jobs data is not likely to inform the latter two meaningfully.<blockquote><ul><li>总体非农就业人数预计将印刷72.5万（上一页。94.3万）。</li><li>失业率预计将下降0.2%至5.2%，尽管这一数字可能无法真实反映劳动力市场；</li><li>分析师将关注参与率（从6月份的61.6%升至7月份的61.7%，而大流行前为63.2%）、U6就业不足指标（从6月份的9.8%降至7月份的9.2%，大流行前为7.0%）和就业人口比率（从6月份的58.0%升至7月份的58.4%，大流行前为61.1%）。</li><li>平均时薪预计将环比增长0.3%，低于7月份的0.4%，同比增长4.0%。</li></ul>八月份劳动力市场指标好坏参半：尽管ADP的私人就业人数（再次）低于预期，但每周首次申请失业救济人数和持续申请失业救济人数降至大流行后的新低。然而，其他指标提供了更悲观的评估：ISM和Markit制造业调查暗示劳动力市场状况降温，德尔塔变异毒株被认为是招聘步伐放缓的原因。鉴于就业数据将在美联储政策反应的背景下制定，许多分析师一直建议“良好的数据不利于进一步宽松的前景”剧本，反之亦然；然而，在本周令人失望的ADP数据之后，这一策略并没有出现。许多人认为，市场已经从宣布缩减规模的时间——假设是在今年年底或明年初实施之前的第四季度——焦点是削减的速度和缩减规模的持续时间，以及8月份的就业数据不太可能为后两者提供有意义的信息。</blockquote> While Consensus remains surprisingly bullish, Goldman's forecast was recently slashed to just 500K, about a third lower than consensus of 725K. As the bank explains, \"while the seasonal hurdle is relatively low in August, the monthly pace and cross-section of Big Data employment indicators are consistent with a sizeable drag from the Delta variant.\" Specifically, the bank notes that high-frequency data on the labor marketwere disappointing between the July and August survey weeks&nbsp;with all of the indicators we track consistent with a slowdown from the 943k July pace. Only one of the five measures Goldman tracks indicated an underlying job gain in excess of consensus (Census Small Business Pulse, +0.8mn). On the positive side, Goldman expects the reopening of schools to boost job growth by around 150k in tomorrow’s report.<blockquote>尽管市场共识仍然出人意料地看涨，但高盛的预测最近被削减至仅50万，比725K的共识低约三分之一。正如该行解释的那样，“虽然8月份的季节性障碍相对较低，但大数据就业指标的月度速度和横截面与德尔塔变异毒株的相当大的拖累一致。”具体而言，该行指出，劳动力市场高频数据在七月和八月的调查周之间令人失望我们跟踪的所有指标都与7月份94.3万辆的增速放缓一致。高盛追踪的五项指标中，只有一项表明潜在的就业增长超过了共识（Census Small Business Pulse，+0.8 0万）。从积极的一面来看，高盛预计学校的重新开放将在明天的报告中促进约15万个就业岗位的增长。</blockquote> POLICY FOCUS: Many Fed officials want to see further accumulated evidence that the labor market is progressing towards its 'substantial further progress' threshold for tapering asset purchases before they commit to a timeline for scaling back these purchases, as well as the modalities of how the taper will look. The August jobs data will be eyed within this context, with analysts suggesting that a weak reading will allow the Fed more time to shape its views, while a stronger-than-expected report will add urgency to a process that some Fed officials want wrapped-up by mid-2022. The Fed has been framing the post-pandemic upside in inflation as transitory, although not everyone is convinced.<blockquote>政策重点：许多美联储官员希望在承诺缩减资产购买的时间表以及缩减资产购买的方式之前，看到进一步积累的证据表明劳动力市场正在朝着缩减资产购买的“实质性进一步进展”门槛迈进。人们将在此背景下关注8月份的就业数据，分析师表示，疲弱的数据将让美联储有更多时间来形成其观点，而强于预期的报告将为一些美联储官员希望结束的进程增加紧迫性——到2022年中期。美联储一直将大流行后通胀上行视为暂时的，尽管并非所有人都相信。</blockquote> SLACK:&nbsp;Headline non-farm payrolls are expected to print 728k (prev. 943k) in August; private payrolls are seen at 665k (prev. 703k), and government payrolls are seen at 25k (prev. 27k). The unemployment rate is expected to decline to 5.2% from 5.4%; many officials do not think that the headline unemployment rate is truly indicative of the health of the labour market, and in recent months, have been monitoring measures like the participation rate (which rose to 61.7% in July from 61.6% in June vs 63.2% pre-pandemic), the U6 measure of underemployment (which fell to 9.2% in July from 9.8% in June vs 7.0% pre-pandemic), and the employment-population ratio (which rose to 58.4% in July from 58.0% in June vs 61.1% pre-pandemic) which all offer better insight into the progress being made in eroding the slack seen since the pandemic.<blockquote>松弛：整体非农就业人数预计为72.8万人（前值。94.3万）8月；私人就业人数为66.5万（上一页。703k），政府工资为25k（上一页。27k）.失业率预计将从5.4%下降至5.2%；许多官员并不认为总体失业率真正表明了劳动力市场的健康状况，近几个月来，他们一直在监测参与率（从6月份的61.6%上升到7月份的61.7%，而疫情前为63.2%）、U6就业不足指标（从6月份的9.8%下降到7月份的9.2%，而疫情前为7.0%）和就业人口比率（从6月份的58.0%上升到7月份的58.4%，而疫情前为61.1%）等指标，这些指标都可以更好地了解自疫情以来在消除疲软方面取得的进展。</blockquote> TREND RATES:&nbsp;There are still 5.7mln fewer Americans in employment compared to pre-pandemic levels in February 2020. The Fed does not specifically quantify what 'substantial further progress' means; market participants have argued that, at minimum, it should mean a continuation of current trends, if not an improving trend rate. The short-term trends improved in the July data; the 3-month trend rate stood at 832k in July (vs 607k trend in the 3-months through June); the 6-month trend rate stood at 681k in July (vs the 563k in the 3-months through June); but the 12-month trend rate was 605k in July (vs 670k in the 12-months through June). If the August consensus expectation of 728k was realised, the 3- month and 6-month trend rates would improve again, possibly giving Fed officials evidence of accumulated progress towards the 'substantial further progress' threshold.<blockquote>趋势费率：与2020年2月大流行前的水平相比，美国就业人数仍减少570万。美联储没有具体量化“实质性的进一步进展”意味着什么；市场参与者认为，至少，这应该意味着当前趋势的延续，即使趋势利率没有改善。7月数据短期趋势改善；7月份的3个月趋势利率为832k（相比之下，截至6月份的3个月趋势为607k）；7月份的6个月趋势利率为681k（而截至6月份的3个月为563k）；但7月份的12个月趋势率为60.5万（截至6月份的12个月为67万）。如果8月份72.8万的共识预期得以实现，3个月和6个月趋势利率将再次改善，可能为美联储官员提供证据，证明在实现“实质性进一步进展”阈值方面取得了累积进展。</blockquote> WAGES:&nbsp;Average hourly earnings are seen rising +0.3% M/M (prev. +0.4% M/M), though the annualized measure is seen unchanged at 4.0% Y/Y; the average workweek is expected to be unchanged at 34.8hrs. Analysts will be carefully monitoring the average hourly earnings measures; the argument is that higher prices may stoke consumer inflation expectations, as seen in recent consumer confidence reports, and will result in higher compensation as workers demand more cash amid rising prices; analysts say that this would add to evidence that inflation is more persistent than the Fed is currently admitting to.<blockquote>工资：平均每小时收入预计将增长+0.3%（上一次为+0.4%），尽管年化指标预计同比增长4.0%；平均每周工作时间预计将保持在34.8小时不变。分析师将仔细监控平均每小时收入指标；其论点是，正如最近的消费者信心报告所示，价格上涨可能会引发消费者通胀预期，并将导致更高的薪酬，因为工人在价格上涨的情况下需要更多现金；分析师表示，这将进一步证明通胀比美联储目前承认的更持久。</blockquote> ADP:&nbsp;The private payrolls survey by ADP disappointed expectations, showing just 374k jobs were added to the US economy in August; analysts were expecting 613k, following the (also) disappointing 326k it reported in July. ADP attributed the weak August report to the Delta variant; Moody's Analytics said \"the Delta variant appears to have dented the job market recovery,\" but \"job growth remains strong, but well-off the pace of recent months, and job growth remains inextricably tied to the path of the pandemic.\" Fed officials have recently been more sanguine on the impact of Delta, although some officials have argued that the Fed is still capable of tweaking policy if the pandemic once again became more persistent.NOTE:The ADP data uses previous official BLS data within its methodology; that July BLS data was strong relative to expectations, so does allude to a more tepid pace of hiring in August, although desks continue to note the tenuous relationship that the ADP data has in signalling the official BLS data; last month, for instance, the ADP flagged a weaker jobs report, although the official data surprised to the upside.<blockquote>ADP：ADP的私人就业调查令人失望，显示8月份美国经济仅增加了37.4万个就业岗位；继7月份报告的（同样）令人失望的32.6万之后，分析师预计为61.3万。ADP将8月报告疲软归因于德尔塔变异毒株；穆迪分析公司表示，“德尔塔变异毒株似乎削弱了就业市场的复苏”，但“就业增长仍然强劲，但近几个月的速度很好，就业增长仍然与大流行的路径密不可分。”美联储官员最近对达美航空的影响更加乐观，尽管一些官员认为，如果疫情再次变得更加持续，美联储仍然有能力调整政策。注：ADP数据在其方法中使用了以前的BLS官方数据；7月份的BLS数据相对于预期强劲，因此确实暗示了8月份的招聘速度更加不温不火，尽管各部门继续注意到ADP数据与BLS官方数据的信号之间的脆弱关系；例如，上个月，ADP显示就业报告疲软，尽管官方数据出人意料地上升。</blockquote> INITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS: Weekly claims data that coincides with the traditional BLS survey window showed claims falling to a post-pandemic low at 349k; the four-week moving average also declined relative to the July survey window, both boding well for the official jobs report. The continuing claims data which coincides with the traditional BLS survey window also fell to a post-pandemic low at 2.862mln (vs 3.296mln heading into the July jobs data). Pantheon Macroeconomics said that the claims numbers are now finally free of the distortions caused by the automakers' retooling shutdowns and the trend is still falling, which suggests that the surge in COVID cases had not yet triggered an increase in layoffs. \"These data, however, tell us nothing about the pace of gross hiring, and it’s entirely possible that firms’&nbsp; first reaction to the Delta wave has been to slow the pace of recruitment, before taking the more difficult decision to let go existing staff,\" Pantheon said, \"still, these data are encouraging.\" Other desks also point out that the claims data only gives insight into workers being laid off (and is essentially corroborated by Challenger's lay-offs data, which fell to the lowest since June 1997), whereas some argue that the labour market weakness seen of late is likely a function of slowing hiring amid the spread of the Delta variant, which is more reflected in surveys.<blockquote>首次申请失业救济人数：与传统BLS调查窗口一致的每周申请数据显示，申请人数降至大流行后的低点349k；相对于7月份的调查窗口，四周移动平均线也有所下降，这都是官方就业报告的好兆头。与传统的BLS调查窗口一致的持续申领数据也降至大流行后的低点286.2万人（7月份就业数据为329.6万人）。Pantheon Macroeconomics表示，索赔人数现在终于摆脱了汽车制造商重组停工造成的扭曲，而且趋势仍在下降，这表明新冠病例激增尚未引发裁员增加。“然而，这些数据并没有告诉我们有关总招聘速度的任何信息，而且企业对三角洲浪潮的第一反应完全有可能是放慢招聘速度，然后再做出解雇现有员工的更困难的决定，”万神殿表示，“尽管如此，这些数据还是令人鼓舞的。”其他部门还指出，索赔数据只能让人们深入了解被解雇的工人（挑战者的裁员数据基本上证实了这一点，该数据降至1997年6月以来的最低水平），而一些人则认为，最近出现的劳动力市场疲软可能是德尔塔变异毒株蔓延导致招聘放缓的结果，这在调查中得到了更多反映。</blockquote> BUSINESS SURVEYS:&nbsp;The business survey data only offers a partial glimpse of the labour market this month, given that the Services ISM and Markit's Final Services PMI for August are both set for release after the jobs report (NOTE: the flash services data from Markit showed employment falling by 2.5 points to 50.8). The ISM manufacturing report saw its employment sub-index tumble by almost 4 points into contractionary territory at 49.0, with the survey noting that new surges of COVID-19 were adding to pandemic-related issues, like worker absenteeism, short-term shutdowns due to parts shortages, as well as difficulties in filling open positions and overseas supply chain problems. That said, the report also said that companies were still struggling to meet labour-management plans, but despite a contracting index, there were positive signs compared to recent months, partly mitigating the gloom implied by the index itself. Meanwhile, Markit's manufacturing PMI alluded to employment growth easing as firms struggled to retain staff and find suitable candidates for current vacancies.<blockquote>商业调查：鉴于服务业ISM和Markit 8月份最终服务业PMI均将在就业报告发布后发布，商业调查数据仅提供了本月劳动力市场的部分情况（注：Markit的服务业数据显示就业率下降2.5点至50.8）。ISM制造业报告显示，其就业分类指数下跌近4个点，至49.0的收缩区域，调查指出，新一轮的COVID-19激增加剧了与大流行相关的问题，如工人缺勤、因零部件短缺而导致的短期停工，以及填补空缺职位的困难和海外供应链问题。尽管如此，报告还表示，企业仍在努力满足劳资计划，但尽管指数收缩，但与近几个月相比仍有积极迹象，部分缓解了指数本身隐含的悲观情绪。与此同时，Markit的制造业PMI暗示就业增长放缓，因为企业难以留住员工并为当前职位空缺寻找合适的候选人。</blockquote> ARGUING FOR A WEAKER-THAN-EXPECTED REPORT:<blockquote>主张报告弱于预期：</blockquote> <ul> <li>Delta variant.&nbsp;Unlike in the first month of the covid resurgence, the Delta variant now appears to be affecting services consumption and the labor market. The revival of the CDC’s mask recommendation on July 27 occurred after the July payroll survey week had ended, which would be consistent with a drag in tomorrow’s report despite the strong gains in the previous one. As shown in the left panel of Exhibit 1, restaurant seatings on Open Table pulled back at the turn of the month, falling to 89% of their 2019 levels during the August survey week, compared to 95% in the July survey week. This would argue for a pause or pullback in US leisure and hospitality employment in tomorrow’s report. Additionally, as shown in the right panel, rising infection rates were associated with weaker employment growth in the state cross-section of the Homebase dataset, consistent with a negative Delta impact on labor demand, labor supply, or both.</li> </ul> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/0e6cda55cde31266e2ae8030d47c7fd2\" tg-width=\"1059\" tg-height=\"499\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"><blockquote><ul><li>德尔塔变异毒株.与新冠疫情卷土重来的第一个月不同，德尔塔变异毒株现在似乎正在影响服务消费和劳动力市场。CDC于7月27日恢复了口罩建议，发生在7月就业调查周结束后，这将与明天报告的拖累一致，尽管前一份报告强劲上涨。如图表1的左图所示，开放式餐桌上的餐厅座位在本月初有所回落，在8月调查周降至2019年水平的89%，而7月调查周为95%。这将在明天的报告中证明美国休闲和酒店业就业暂停或回落。此外，如右图所示，在Homebase数据集的州横截面中，感染率上升与就业增长疲软相关，这与对劳动力需求、劳动力供应或两者的负面Delta影响一致。</li></ul></blockquote> <ul> <li>Big Data.&nbsp;High-frequency data on the labor market were disappointing between the July and August survey weeks (see Exhibit 2), with all of the indicators we track consistent with a slowdown from the 943k July pace.

Other metrics, however, offer a gloomier assessment: the ISM and Markit manufacturing surveys allude to a cooling in labor market conditions, with the Delta variant being cited as a reason for the softer pace of hiring. Given that the jobs data will be framed within the context of the Fed's policy reaction, many analysts have been suggesting a'good data is bad for the prospects of further accommodation'playbook, and vice versa; however, this strategy was not seen in wake of the disappointing ADP data this week. Many argue that the market has already moved on from the timing of the taper announcement – assumed to be in Q4 before implementation late this year or early next – and focus is on the pace of the reductions and the duration of the taper, and the August jobs data is not likely to inform the latter two meaningfully.\nWhile Consensus remains surprisingly bullish, Goldman's forecast was recently slashed to just 500K, about a third lower than consensus of 725K. As the bank explains, \"while the seasonal hurdle is relatively low in August, the monthly pace and cross-section of Big Data employment indicators are consistent with a sizeable drag from the Delta variant.\" Specifically, the bank notes that high-frequency data on the labor marketwere disappointing between the July and August survey weeks with all of the indicators we track consistent with a slowdown from the 943k July pace. Only one of the five measures Goldman tracks indicated an underlying job gain in excess of consensus (Census Small Business Pulse, +0.8mn). On the positive side, Goldman expects the reopening of schools to boost job growth by around 150k in tomorrow’s report.\nPOLICY FOCUS: Many Fed officials want to see further accumulated evidence that the labor market is progressing towards its 'substantial further progress' threshold for tapering asset purchases before they commit to a timeline for scaling back these purchases, as well as the modalities of how the taper will look. The August jobs data will be eyed within this context, with analysts suggesting that a weak reading will allow the Fed more time to shape its views, while a stronger-than-expected report will add urgency to a process that some Fed officials want wrapped-up by mid-2022. The Fed has been framing the post-pandemic upside in inflation as transitory, although not everyone is convinced.\nSLACK: Headline non-farm payrolls are expected to print 728k (prev. 943k) in August; private payrolls are seen at 665k (prev. 703k), and government payrolls are seen at 25k (prev. 27k). The unemployment rate is expected to decline to 5.2% from 5.4%; many officials do not think that the headline unemployment rate is truly indicative of the health of the labour market, and in recent months, have been monitoring measures like the participation rate (which rose to 61.7% in July from 61.6% in June vs 63.2% pre-pandemic), the U6 measure of underemployment (which fell to 9.2% in July from 9.8% in June vs 7.0% pre-pandemic), and the employment-population ratio (which rose to 58.4% in July from 58.0% in June vs 61.1% pre-pandemic) which all offer better insight into the progress being made in eroding the slack seen since the pandemic.\nTREND RATES: There are still 5.7mln fewer Americans in employment compared to pre-pandemic levels in February 2020. The Fed does not specifically quantify what 'substantial further progress' means; market participants have argued that, at minimum, it should mean a continuation of current trends, if not an improving trend rate. The short-term trends improved in the July data; the 3-month trend rate stood at 832k in July (vs 607k trend in the 3-months through June); the 6-month trend rate stood at 681k in July (vs the 563k in the 3-months through June); but the 12-month trend rate was 605k in July (vs 670k in the 12-months through June). If the August consensus expectation of 728k was realised, the 3- month and 6-month trend rates would improve again, possibly giving Fed officials evidence of accumulated progress towards the 'substantial further progress' threshold.\nWAGES: Average hourly earnings are seen rising +0.3% M/M (prev. +0.4% M/M), though the annualized measure is seen unchanged at 4.0% Y/Y; the average workweek is expected to be unchanged at 34.8hrs. Analysts will be carefully monitoring the average hourly earnings measures; the argument is that higher prices may stoke consumer inflation expectations, as seen in recent consumer confidence reports, and will result in higher compensation as workers demand more cash amid rising prices; analysts say that this would add to evidence that inflation is more persistent than the Fed is currently admitting to.\nADP: The private payrolls survey by ADP disappointed expectations, showing just 374k jobs were added to the US economy in August; analysts were expecting 613k, following the (also) disappointing 326k it reported in July. ADP attributed the weak August report to the Delta variant; Moody's Analytics said \"the Delta variant appears to have dented the job market recovery,\" but \"job growth remains strong, but well-off the pace of recent months, and job growth remains inextricably tied to the path of the pandemic.\" Fed officials have recently been more sanguine on the impact of Delta, although some officials have argued that the Fed is still capable of tweaking policy if the pandemic once again became more persistent.NOTE:The ADP data uses previous official BLS data within its methodology; that July BLS data was strong relative to expectations, so does allude to a more tepid pace of hiring in August, although desks continue to note the tenuous relationship that the ADP data has in signalling the official BLS data; last month, for instance, the ADP flagged a weaker jobs report, although the official data surprised to the upside.\nINITIAL JOBLESS CLAIMS: Weekly claims data that coincides with the traditional BLS survey window showed claims falling to a post-pandemic low at 349k; the four-week moving average also declined relative to the July survey window, both boding well for the official jobs report. The continuing claims data which coincides with the traditional BLS survey window also fell to a post-pandemic low at 2.862mln (vs 3.296mln heading into the July jobs data). Pantheon Macroeconomics said that the claims numbers are now finally free of the distortions caused by the automakers' retooling shutdowns and the trend is still falling, which suggests that the surge in COVID cases had not yet triggered an increase in layoffs. \"These data, however, tell us nothing about the pace of gross hiring, and it’s entirely possible that firms’  first reaction to the Delta wave has been to slow the pace of recruitment, before taking the more difficult decision to let go existing staff,\" Pantheon said, \"still, these data are encouraging.\" Other desks also point out that the claims data only gives insight into workers being laid off (and is essentially corroborated by Challenger's lay-offs data, which fell to the lowest since June 1997), whereas some argue that the labour market weakness seen of late is likely a function of slowing hiring amid the spread of the Delta variant, which is more reflected in surveys.\nBUSINESS SURVEYS: The business survey data only offers a partial glimpse of the labour market this month, given that the Services ISM and Markit's Final Services PMI for August are both set for release after the jobs report (NOTE: the flash services data from Markit showed employment falling by 2.5 points to 50.8). The ISM manufacturing report saw its employment sub-index tumble by almost 4 points into contractionary territory at 49.0, with the survey noting that new surges of COVID-19 were adding to pandemic-related issues, like worker absenteeism, short-term shutdowns due to parts shortages, as well as difficulties in filling open positions and overseas supply chain problems. That said, the report also said that companies were still struggling to meet labour-management plans, but despite a contracting index, there were positive signs compared to recent months, partly mitigating the gloom implied by the index itself. Meanwhile, Markit's manufacturing PMI alluded to employment growth easing as firms struggled to retain staff and find suitable candidates for current vacancies.\nARGUING FOR A WEAKER-THAN-EXPECTED REPORT:\n\nDelta variant. Unlike in the first month of the covid resurgence, the Delta variant now appears to be affecting services consumption and the labor market. The revival of the CDC’s mask recommendation on July 27 occurred after the July payroll survey week had ended, which would be consistent with a drag in tomorrow’s report despite the strong gains in the previous one. As shown in the left panel of Exhibit 1, restaurant seatings on Open Table pulled back at the turn of the month, falling to 89% of their 2019 levels during the August survey week, compared to 95% in the July survey week. This would argue for a pause or pullback in US leisure and hospitality employment in tomorrow’s report. Additionally, as shown in the right panel, rising infection rates were associated with weaker employment growth in the state cross-section of the Homebase dataset, consistent with a negative Delta impact on labor demand, labor supply, or both.\n\n\n\nBig Data. High-frequency data on the labor market were disappointing between the July and August survey weeks (see Exhibit 2), with all of the indicators we track consistent with a slowdown from the 943k July pace. Only one of the five measures we track indicates an underlying job gain in excess of consensus (Census Small Business Pulse, +0.8mn), though we acknowledge that the track record for Big Data indicators during the crisis has been mixed.\n\n\n\nADP. Private sector employment in the ADP report increased by 374k in August, below consensus expectations for a 625k gain. Because the statistical inputs to the ADP model probably boosted their jobs estimate, we believe the underlying ADP sample showed only modest gains in the month.\n\nARGUING FOR A STRONGER-THAN-EXPECTED REPORT\n\nSchool reopening. We expect a roughly 150k boost from the reopening of schools, as many teachers and support staff return for the fall school year (some of whom were not working at the end of the prior one). While a pace of reopening similar to August 2020would contribute nearly 300k jobs (mom sa), the level of education employment is 600khigher a year later, and we believe some janitors and support staff did not return due to capacity restrictions and hybrid teaching models.\nWind-down of Top-ups. The expiration of federal benefits in some states has boosted labor supply and job-finding rates. Federal benefits were partially or fully curtailed in half of US states (representing 29% of the outstanding job losses since the start of the pandemic) in June and early July. And encouragingly, continuing claims have continued to decline more quickly in these states (by roughly 150k relative to the trend in all other states in the August payroll month).\nSeasonality. The August seasonal hurdle is relatively low: the BLS adjustment factors generally assume a 100-200k decline in private payrolls (which exclude public schools),compared to +0.5mn over the previous four months.\nJob availability. The Conference Board labor differential—the difference between the percent of respondents saying jobs are plentiful and those saying jobs are hard to get—decreased by 1.3pt to +42.8 in August but remains at a high level. Additionally, job openings increased by 590k to a record high in June, according to the JOLTS report.\nJobless claims. Initial jobless claims edged down during the August payroll month,averaging 355k per week vs. 393k in July. Continuing claims also decreased, averaging2,840k in August vs. 3,140k in July. Across all employee programs including emergency benefits, continuing claims remained roughly unchanged between the payroll survey weeks.\n\n\nNEUTRAL/MIXED FACTORS:\n\nEmployer surveys. The employment component of the ISM Manufacturing Index fell into contractionary territory (-3.9pt to 49.0). The employment component of our manufacturing survey tracker also decreased (-0.8pt to 58.3), but the employment component of our services survey tracker increased (+0.1pt to 54.9). The employment component of the GSAI increased by 2.8pt to 70.0.\nJob cuts. Announced layoffs reported by Challenger, Gray & Christmas decreased by1% in August after decreasing by 13% in July (mom, SA by GS). Layoffs were at the lowest level since 1993.\n\nREACTION: Citi argues that given still net-long broader USD positions, any miss relative to the consensus may buoy Treasuries (as traders reason that the Fed would remain accommodative for longer), and any decline in yields would likely accelerate the Dollar's recent underperformance. \"A'goldilocks'release that entails a slight miss would be most ideal for risk assets heading into an extended weekend,\" but the bigger picture Citi says is that \"the broader taper narrative will not have long-lasting market implications given broad expectations for a Q4 conclusion; nonetheless, the interim run-up will see taper talk as a persistent albeit fading influence on market moves.\"","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{".DJI":0.9,".SPX":0.9,".IXIC":0.9,"SPY":0.9}},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"}],"hasMoreComments":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":234,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"isCrawlerRequest":false}
