The Breakfast Briefing: What Jobs Miss Would It Take For The Fed To Pause?

FYI: A surprise to the downside to [between 160,000 and 170,000] could shake confidence…fanning speculation that the Fed might get cold feet in two weeks.” – Stephen Casey, Cambridge Global Payments

“We’d need to see a number below [150,000] for the December rate call to come into question.” – Sam Bullard, Wells Fargo Securities

“We would need a number that looks a lot like August and September, a 100,000-kind of number that would give [the Fed] pause.” — Steve Blitz, ITG Investment Research

“We’d need to see something substantially worse than [between 80,000 and 100,000] for the Fed to hold off and even then, I’m not sure we’d avoid a December rate hike.” – Mark Hamrick, Bankrate

Ted
