Size of Fed rate cut 'a coin flip': Strategist

The August jobs report fell short of economist expectations, adding only 142,000 jobs versus the anticipated 165,000. NYSE Senior Market Strategist Michael Reinking joins Morning Brief to discuss his outlook following the report. Reinking notes that today's jobs print did not solidify either a 25 or 50 basis point cut, calling it "a coin flip." He points out improvements in the headline payrolls number, but suggests that downward revisions from July offset the positive outlook. Regarding the unemployment rate, he comments that "the bar was very low." "Unfortunately, I don't think it gives you a definitive answer from a Federal Reserve perspective. There's a lot of would've, could've, should've," Reinking told Yahoo Finance, though he personally believes a 25 basis point cut will materialize. As for market outlooks, Reinking suggests it's harder to say that easing monetary policy will significantly impact markets. He notes, "We're not getting a clear signal from the markets" right now.

August jobs report, Fed blackout, Broadcom: 3 Things

US stock futures (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) are reacting to the August jobs report, which saw 142,000 nonfarm payroll jobs added to the labor market, below economist expectations of 165,000. The unemployment rate was in line with US Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates, falling to 4.2% from 4.3% in July. The Federal Reserve is digesting August's labor print as officials enter their "blackout period" ahead of the central bank's September meeting in two weeks. Shares of chipmaker Broadcom (AVGO) tumble further as the stock trades in negative territory in extended hours over its disappointing revenue guidance for the fiscal fourth quarter.
