7 Trading US Equity Markets Five economic data releases that move markets 1) Unemployment report - Published on the first Friday of each month by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, - Highly significant indicator and the cause of many of the biggest one-day movements - CME weekly equity options volume increases 2-3x around announcement - Top-line number is the change in non-farm payrolls; also provides the unemployment rate, average hourly earnings, average weekly hours. 2) Consumer Price Index - Published monthly by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics - Value of a basket of approx. 80,000 items (specific composition evolves over time) - Important as an indicator of the economy as well as in determining variable in the calculation of many government payments (e.g. social security payments) - There is also a CPI ex-food and Energy as these are very volatile over short term 7
8 Trading US Equity Markets Five key economic data releases that move markets 3) Consumer Confidence - A market sentiment survey conducted by The Conference Board, an independent business research organization - Monthly since 1969; based on survey of 5,000 randomly-selected households - Index of conditions personally and for the nation, and expectations for six month s time. - Questions about general state of business conditions, availability of jobs, expected changes in income, likelihood of major purchases and overall outlook for the economy. 4) Advance Retail Sales - Published by the US Department of Commerce (Bureau of the Census) based on a survey of 5,000 businesses across the country on the dollar value of sales. - Survey responses collected by the third day of the month and the advance report is disseminated in the second week, making the data very fresh, but noisy (subject to significant revisions) - Household consumption makes up 50% of GDP. Large seasonal variations. 8
9 Trading US Equity Markets Five key economic data releases that move markets 5) Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) Meetings - FOMC meets every six weeks to review economic and market conditions and decide future direction of monetary policy. - Specifically: FOMC sets the Fed Funds target rate - A brief press release announcing the new target rate, and a summary of economic conditions and the balance of risks to the economy. - Changes are often telegraphed and can be implied from the Fed Funds futures market. Timing of changes often implied from the language of the press release. - In general, a dovish statement (biased towards lower rates) is positive for equity markets while a hawkish statement (biased towards higher rates) is negative. - Complicated psychology: Monetary policy is a combination of growth and inflation concerns. For example: A hawkish policy suggests economic growth is sufficiently robust to support higher rates and may be taken well by the market. By contrast, an unexpectedly dovish statement may reflect concerns over growth and be taken badly. Question is often whether Fed perception is consistent with the market s. 9
