Key arguments

German factory orders increased consecutively, with +2.5% m/m in July and +3.7% in June.
Canadian employment has grown by 181k over the past three months, with unemployment falling to 6.4% in July.
Nonfarm payrolls estimates are wide, with Scotia's estimate at +30k, but outcomes could be small losses or gains based on seasonal factors.
Fed Chair Warsh is seen as indifferent to labour market data, which the report argues is misleading.

Key numbers

German factory orders m/m July: +2.5%
German factory orders m/m June: +3.7%
Canada jobs created last 3 months: 181k
Canada unemployment rate July: 6.4%
Scotia estimate for Canadian employment: 20k
US nonfarm payrolls Scotia estimate: +30k

Main risks

Seasonal adjustment factors may overstate job gains in Canada.
Lingering effects of ACA subsidy reductions could dampen health sector hiring.
