Investors support the coming rate reduction, but are also competing with job offers.

The S&P 500 and NASDAQ Composite climbed Wednesday, driving tech stocks after a federal court decision allowed Google to maintain its Chrome browser.

Optimism about looming fee reductions by the Federal Reserve has also supported the market, with the CME FedWatch tool showing a 96.6% chance of the Fed rate at its September meeting later this month.

But weak economic data appears to hang like a darker cloud than investors. In July, employment openings fell to levels rarely seen since the Covid-19 pandemic, reinforcing the fear of cooling in the labour market.

The recruitment and labor sales report listed around 7.18 million in July, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, released Wednesday. This is the second read since the end of 2020 at the 7.2 million level.

Economists also hope that Thursday’s ADP Private Salary Report will show soft prints for August, with Jobless’s claims data expected to show a slight increase. The unemployment rate scheduled for Friday is projected to indicate an unemployment rate of 4.2% to 4.3% will be inched.

In short, the Fed may be ready to cut interest rates, but the job market will be cut deeper.
