US PRIVATE SECTOR ADDS 86K JOBS, BEATING EXPECTATIONS
US private employers added 86,000 jobs in October, above the 69,000 forecast, according to ADP. The result matched September’s revised gain of 86,000, marking a second consecutive month of solid hiring.
Trade and healthcare led job creation, while business services lost 27,000 positions. Gross pay increased 4.7% year over year.
The focus now shifts to Friday’s official jobs report. Stronger labor data could influence Fed rate expectations, Treasury yields and risk assets, including crypto.
