Citable research brief

Core conclusion · Tlines extraction

SMBC's US Rates Strategy Daily argues that cyclical-sector payrolls, which fell in 2024 and 2025, are now accelerating, pointing to a brighter labor market and growth outlook. The firm says this stabilization, alongside median wage growth realigning with labor demand, is likely removing a key source of economy-wide disinflationary pressure. For next Friday's employment report, SMBC forecasts +67k headline NFP, +74k private NFP and 4.1% unemployment.

Key arguments

  • Cyclical labor market sectors are accelerating after declining in 2024 and 2025, implying a brighter broader labor market and growth outlook.
  • Median wage growth may be realigning with labor demand, likely removing a key source of economy-wide disinflationary pressure.
  • The stabilization is partly due to the cyclical sectors of the labor market, which are particularly sensitive to GDP growth.
  • Cyclical sectors include administration and support, waste management and remediation, financial activities, information services, transportation and warehousing, retail and wholesale trade, manufacturing, construction, and leisure and hospitality.
