Responses to the NFP report from various banks are incoming - here is RBC and Credit Suisse:
RBC:
- "even if this number were clean (it is not!) this would merely represent a blip in an otherwise relentlessly robust employment backdrop. Let's not forget that the pipeline for hiring remains at cycle highs with job openings sitting near 5 million"
RBC also point out that earnings were better
Credit Suisse:
- "A clear cut disappointment in payrolls (but)... were long overdue for even a random hiccup"
(Bolding is mine)
