Following the fall of China’s manufacturing purchasing managers’ index, the US’s manufacturing purchasing managers’ index fell in December last year, falling to 54.1, down from 59.3 last month, bringing the US economy to contract and the prospects worsening. Last night, the US stock market once fell more than 700 points, closing some of the lost ground, but still closed earlier than the day, down 685 points. The market is watching the increase in the number of US non-farm payrolls tonight. It is expected that the US ADP job data will be strong last night, which is expected to boost the US Dow, and then boost the global stock market and the Asian stock market early next week.
Last night, the US announced that ADP employment in December exceeded 270,000, an increase from the past year, which means that the confidence in business activities is still strong. Unfortunately, the number of initial jobless claims has increased by 10,000 from last week. Probably, tonight the US officially announced the non-farm payroll population rise. But the unemployment rate and average wage results, the market is more concerned about whether the average wage has improved. If the number of ADP increases, it is expected to drive wage increases. The higher increase
