Trump adviser Peter Navarro says \u2018we have to revise our expectations down\u2019 because of US deportation programme<\/p>\n
Good morning, and welcome to our rolling coverage of business, the financial markets and the world economy.<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s non-farm payrolls day! The eagerly-awaited US jobs report is out today, and the White House has been trying to moderate expectations.<\/p>\n We have to revise our expectations down significantly for what a monthly job number should look like. When we were letting in 2 million illegal aliens a day we had to produce 200,000 a month for steady stay.<\/p>\n Now 50,000 a month is going to be more like what we need. Wall Street, when this stuff comes out, they can\u2019t rain on our parade, they just have to adjust for the fact that we\u2019re deporting millions of illegals.<\/p>\n The next steer for rate setters will be US non-farm payrolls data due later today. Forecasts are for an increase in hiring from 50,000 in December to 70,000 in January. That\u2019s still a relatively light number, but anything lower could see markets gain more confidence in the scope for three rate cuts this year. Changes to the benchmark are also in play today, which are expected to see hiring rates for last year revised downwards.<\/p>\n Our US economists see nonfarm payrolls coming in at +75k, with the unemployment rate staying at 4.4%. Remember as well that today\u2019s report will include the annual benchmark revisions to payrolls, which could rewrite some of the trends over recent history.<\/p>\n We already got the preliminary number in September, which said that payrolls were -911k lower as of March 2025. However, that number can be different from the preliminary release, and last year\u2019s preliminary benchmark revision was -818k but the final number was a smaller -589k, so not as negative as first thought.<\/p>\n 1.30pm GMT: US non-farm payrolls for January (previous: 50,000; forecast: 70,000)<\/p>\n 5.30pm GMT: Bank of England policymaker James Talbot gives speech<\/p>\n Continue reading…<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Trump adviser Peter Navarro says \u2018we have to revise our expectations down\u2019 because of US deportation programme Good morning, and welcome to our rolling coverage of business, the financial markets and the world economy.
