The next key economic release is the employment statistics on Friday. Recall non-farm payroll rose by 353,000 last month surprising the market in the process. The expectations are for a number around 190,000 on Friday.

The ADP national employment numbers came in at 140K earlier today less than the 150K estimate. The prior month was revised up a little higher at 111K versus 107K previously reported. Is the ADP too low, or are the BLS figures the outlier but there is some divergence of views.
