Thirty Capital Market Update: Job Market Surprises and Inflation in Focus

Last week was all about jobs. JOLTS numbers came in significantly better than expected on Tuesday (nearly half a million higher than the number surveyed), and ISM Services came in strong at 54.9 on Thursday. ISM Manufacturing numbers came in soft. Friday’s Nonfarm Payroll release came in at 254k vs. 150k expected, with 72k in revisions for the prior month as well. Unemployment moved down to 4.1%, which was unexpected. 2-year Swaps closed the week at 3.73% (37 BPS higher), and 10-year Swaps closed at 3.50% (20 BPS higher). Most of this movement came on Friday in response to Nonfarm Payroll & Unemployment data. There are now fewer than two rate cuts priced in for 2024 according to Bloomberg’s World Interest Rate Probabilities, and there’s even a slim chance they don’t cut at all during their next two meetings.

Employment is seemingly stronger than expected, and this week the focus is back to inflation, with CPI coming out Thursday and PPI on Friday. MoM improvements are expected in both cases (0.2% to 0.1%). We also have 3-year, 10-year, and 30-year TSY Auctions to watch on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday respectively. Continued Fed speak is also worth watching this week.

Freddie Mac held their capital markets conference last week and is expecting higher volume / better supply for their securitizations moving forward. 5-year deals remain popular, but demand for 7+ year deals is improving as well. Insurance premiums for Multifamily are improving but are still much greater that they were before COVID.

Rent Ready introduces a modern solution to an age-old apartment industry problem.

After a deep dive in the industry, Rent Ready discovered that the make ready process was disjointed, frustrating, and time-consuming. Onsite staff members were scheduling six different services with six different vendors – creating scheduling nightmares along with unexpected challenges and headaches. As a full-service partner for onsite apartment staff, Rent Ready handles the frustration between the move-out and move-in, as a single-source for all turn services: paint, clean, carpet, wall repair, punch, and counter/tub resurfacing.
