Key Points
- The jobs report will be scrutinized for job growth diffusion (breadth of growth), wages (important for the Fed's view on labor market equilibrium), and the U6 underemployment rate.
- The Fed remains concerned about inflation, primarily driven by energy, and the jobs report is not expected to alleviate these concerns.
- New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's stance on forward guidance is discussed, but Berro believes there will be more continuity than anticipated, as the market is already data-dependent.
