Key Quotes:
"ADP employment report (Wednesday): In line with our forecast for BLS private payrolls, we expect ADP private employment to have gained an additional 170k jobs in March.
- ISM non-manufacturing (Wednesday): The headline ISM non-manufacturing index improved further to 57.6 in February from 56.5 in January. The latest survey-based measures of business activity suggest elevated optimism likely continued in March. Moreover, the retail and services-providing sector payrolls increased at a steady pace. However, retail sales in February increased only moderately, which may have damped some of the optimism. Therefore, we expect the ISM non-manufacturing index to edge lower but remain elevated at 57.0."
