ILO unemployment reading to publish around 8:30 GMT today.
- As of now unemployment rate in UK stands at 5.6% and median estimate says it will remain so in today's reading.
- Once again major focus will be on earnings growth, which has gained sharply in last few reports, fuelling rate hike bets on Pound. Average earnings excluding bonus grew by 2.8% for three months to July and 2.4% including it.
- Today market is expecting earnings growth pretty high at 2.9% excluding bonus and 2.5% including it. Report may not live up to such high expectation.
Impact -
- Expectation miss would not necessarily weaken pound by large. Wage growth of above 2.5% would still be good enough. In that case, Pound is likely to find support around 1.527 area.
- However any wage growth below 2.3% likely to sour sentiment.
- Any major movement may not occur as FOMC rate decision is looming tomorrow.
