Expectations for today suggest a 6.5% YoY increase in wages and a 3% YoY rise in employment - both values refer to the enterprise sector (firms hiring at least 9 employees).

This is in line with what we have seen in the average mortgage rate in the United States (it has fallen to 4.4% from above 5% of late). Based solely on this measure one may expect a further improvement in the US housing market. Having this in mind the consensus for today’s reading points to a 2.7% MoM increase (up to 5.35 million from 5.21 million).
