Labour Market Bounce — Brian Romanchuk

Both Canadian and American labour market data for May surprised to the upside, and the Treasury market has been monkey-hammered.

My view always was that guessing what would happen this month is a bit of a waste of time, and we won't get a clean read until the June data. A mechanical bounce in employment was always in the cards, the question is when, and at what levels.

One data point doesn't establish a trend, but a lot of folks are breathing more easily today. Now let's hope that there isn't a second wave.
