My take & numbers
👇

ADP:
+98K vs. 118K exp
ected, down from 122K in May. Nearly half of it (48K) came from education and health services. Leisure & hospitality posted its sixth straight month of weak hiring. ADP’s own economist: hiring slowdown driven by both demand and labor supply constraints.

ISM Manufacturing: 53.3 still expanding, but employment sub-index at 49.7 remains in contraction (33 consecutive months). And the number nobody’s talking about enough: Prices Paid collapsed from 82.1 to 73.0. That’s the oil-driven disinflation channel showing up in hard survey data.

My thesis -Substack subs have it with detail- doesn’t need the labor market to break it needs the war-premium inflation impulse to fade. It’s fading.

GDPNow just got cut from 3.1% to 1.2%. Momentum is cooling into Q3
😉

Warsh’s hawkish dot plot is built on wage-driven inflation persistence. Consensus expects YoY earnings to accelerate from 3.4% to 3.5%. That’s the trap in this report.

If AHE YoY prints 3.4% or lower → the acceleration narrative dies, hike pricing fades, and the no-hikes thesis gets its strongest data point since the June FOMC.
