ADP jobs shocker
The market was expecting a small positive number (10K-20K in job gains). Instead, ADP reported that private employers shed a net 32K jobs in November, with 120K lost by small companies alone (medium and large companies added 90K). Keep in mind that small companies are the lifeblood of the US economy and account for 43% of private employment.
Flattish prices nationwide
Case-Shiller's Nat'l Home Price Index climbed 0.2% month-over-month in Sep 2025, but on a year-over-year basis, price growth continued to decelerate. (A flattish +1.3% YoY in Sep 2025, vs. +4.1% YoY in Jan 2025.) But flattish at the national level means that prices are up in half the country and down in the other half. For example, Tampa is -4.1% YoY and Phoenix is -2.0% YoY.
Fed Rate cut odds jump
The weak November jobs data from ADP, combined with recent public comments from senior Fed members, has the market convinced that Fed will vote to cut rates for the 3rd time this year on December 10. To a large extent, this has already been priced-in by the market. Average 30-year mortgage rates are approaching 6% again.
