Non Farm Payrolls revealed more hiring than expected in August. 162k jobs were added in the month vs 55k mean estimate. July payrolls were revised higher to 21k from -23k, a net gain of 44k. With the massive 4.1 standard deviation beat I started wondering how often the mean Wall Street estimate of Non Farm Payrolls was close to or equal to the actual number. Since the August 2024 jobs report, only three times has the actual number been within 1 standard deviation of the mean estimate. The average standard deviation is 3.6. In 13 of the last 25 reports the actual number has been either higher than the max estimate or lower than the minimum estimate. It seems forecasting jobs is a difficult task, but when the number beats (or falls short of) the mean estimate meaningfully, the market reacts. Today’s reaction was a move higher in interest rates coupled with increasing odds of a rate hike in September. The meeting on September 16th now holds a 60% chance of a rate hike. It’s not very often of late that we go into a Fed meeting without knowing what the Fed will do. Next Thursday’s PPI report and Friday’s CPI report will play a big part in the Fed’s decision of hike vs hold, with the market leaning hike today.

Mortgage rates ended the week higher. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh delivered a hawkish speech at the Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium. Yields and rate hikes odds rose as the yield curve bear flattened.

The 2% target is “firm” and “fixed”:

Warsh explicitly rejected any suggestion that the Fed might tolerate a permanently higher inflation rate. He also said inflation is not necessarily self-correcting or mean-reverting, meaning policymakers cannot simply wait for inflation to drift back toward target. This is especially important because it rejects the argument that the Fed should accommodate 3% inflation because of structural changes, fiscal deficits, supply constraints, tariffs, or geopolitical disruptions.

Inflation is the Fed’s predominant concern:

Warsh said the Fed’s “predominant focus right now should be on prices.” That is a direct statement about the current balance of risks. Employment is not presently the constraint on policy.

The economy appears to have strengthened:

Warsh highlighted approximately 9% four-quarter growth in equipment and intangible investment, strong AI-related capital expenditures, corporate profit growth exceeding 20%, healthy consumption, and private domestic final purchases growing at nearly a 3% pace during the calendar year. Strong growth is not inherently hawkish, but it reduces the downside economic risk of tightening.

He did not explicitly commit to a hike. Warsh said he was committed to a policy discipline, not a specific decision, and declined to provide either a rate path or a mechanical reaction function. This preserves the option to hold in September if incoming inflation or labor data soften materially.

Inflation expectations remain stable:

He said medium-term inflation expectations were generally stable and that inflation compensation in the swaps market conveyed a similar message. Anchored expectations reduce the urgency for an outsized move, although they do not eliminate the rationale for a 25-basis-point hike.

This home needs some love, but that’s exactly where an FHA 203(k) renovation loan could come in—finance the home and eligible renovations with one mortgage. 🔨

🏡 Mortgage Tip: Don't forget about closing costs!

When budgeting for your home purchase, remember that your down payment isn't the only expense to plan for. Closing costs can include lender fees, title services, taxes, and more. Being prepared can help make your homebuying journey much smoother.
