On Friday, US Nonfarm Payrolls data will take centre stage as a meanwhile distraction to the Ukraine crisis this Friday. Employment is expected to continue to advance in March following two strong reports averaging +580k in January and February. That said, we are expected a slightly lower figure than previous – 490,000 jobs to be added in the United States in March with the unemployment rate falling to 3.7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unemployment rate could become just as important to watch as average hourly earnings for signs of a tight labour market, with further declines likely to increase the Feds sense of urgency in raising rates at least back towards their estimated long-run neutral rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before that, the Fed\u2019s favourite inflation metric is released on Thursday. The data is expected to reinforce confidence in the US economy even as the risk of a recession grows in Europe. But there is a danger the Fed is about to tighten policy too aggressively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wage growth is expected to have accelerated after slowing down in February. Average hourly earnings are anticipated to have increased by 5.5% year-on-year in March, up from 5.1% in the prior month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
