After the Phillies dropped the first two at home, I should have known that this would happen, too.
Not only did September's job data exceed expectations, but August's net loss of 4,000 jobs was revised higher to a net gain of 89,000. That's a bigger swing than Montpelier.
Mortgage rates are getting bludgeoned this morning as traders:
- Shift their expectations for the Fed's next meeting
- Question whether the Fed acted to quickly to lower the FFR last month
Me, I am more surprised that the Non-Farm Payrolls report has this much sway. Statistically, it's somewhat insignificant.
