Tariff-Resistant Economy Soothes Traders Ahead of Jobs Day
(Bloomberg) -- Options traders are betting the S&P 500 Index will post its smallest swing in months following Friday's US employment report, highlighting how a spate of better-than-expected data has calmed investor worries over the economic impact of President Donald Trump's tariffs. The Global Struggle to Build Safer Cars At London's New Design Museum, Visitors Get Hands-On Access LA City Council Passes Budget That Trims Police, Fire Spending ICE Moves to DNA-Test Families Targeted for Deportation with New Contract NYC Residents Want Safer Streets, Cheaper Housing, Survey Says The benchmark is projected to move 0.9% in either direction on Friday, according to data compiled by Piper Sandler & Co. That figure, based on the prices of S&P 500 options straddles as of Tuesday's close, is the smallest implied swing ahead of a jobs print since February and below an average realized move of 1.3% over the past year. Concern over the global trade war's impact on US growth flared in early April, after Trump unveiled a list of tariffs aimed at the country's trading partners around the globe. Stocks tumbled, with the S&P 500 falling to the edge of a bear market. But Trump has mitigated or stalled many of those levies in the weeks since, while data on measures such as inflation and job openings suggest the economy is taking the trade chaos in stride. The S&P 500 is just 2.8% off its all-time high reached earlier this year, following a weekslong surge. 'Tariffs initially spooked markets, but stocks have recovered because there aren't meaningful cracks in the economy yet,' said Vishal Vivek, equity trading strategist at Citigroup Inc. 'The risk is if unemployment unexpectedly spikes. Then stocks would need to reprice for slower growth.' Economists polled by Bloomberg expect the US economy to have created roughly 130,000 in May, down from 177,000 a month prior. The jobless rate is expected to hold steady at 4.2%. ADP Research data on Wednesday showed hiring decelerated to the slowest pace in two years last month, raising concern that Friday's non-farm payrolls figures could also show labor conditions weakening. A separate report showed activity at US service providers slipped into contraction territory last month for the first time in nearly a year. The S&P 500 Index traded 0.1% higher at 10:04 a.m. in New York. Sanguine Outlook Trader positioning reflects a sanguine outlook going into the report. After the S&P 500 soared 6.2% last month — its best May since 1990 — hedge funds and other large speculators have turned net short on futures tied to the Cboe Volatility Index for the first time in five weeks, data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission show. Solid economic numbers helped boost their confidence. The Citigroup US Economic Surprise Index, a rolling measure of whether economic indicators are clocking in above or below expectations, turned positive in late May for the first time since mid-February, when the S&P 500 traded at records. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow model sees real gross domestic product growing at a 4.6% annualized rate in the second quarter, up from a contraction of 0.2% in the first three months of the year. Of course, a negative jobs day surprise could sour the mood. JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s trading desk, led by Andrew Tyler, said in a Monday note the S&P 500 may drop as much as 3% if the economy created fewer than 100,000 jobs in May. The chance of such an outcome, however, is only around 5%, according to his estimates. In the most likely scenario, jobs growth last month will come in between 115,000 to 135,000, with the index gaining 0.25% to 1%, Tyler says. The jobs data will also help investors gauge whether the Federal Reserve will keep rates on hold for the foreseeable future, as it attempts to balance trade war uncertainties with threats of slowing growth and accelerating inflation that could result from the tariffs. The central bank enters a blackout period this weekend ahead of its June 18 rate decision. 'Even if jobs growth somewhat slows, traders will give this report a pass because employment data lags,' said Larry Benedict, chief executive of The Opportunistic Trader, a financial market-research firm. 'It will take a few months before the tariff impacts will really begin to appear in those figures.' (Updates with ADP, services data, S&P 500 trading in sixth paragraph.)

Trump budget bill would increase deficit by $2.4 trillion and 10.9 million would lose health insurance, CBO says
Washington — Republicans' sweeping policy bill aimed at advancing President Trump's second-term agenda would increase the deficit by $2.4 trillion over the next decade, according to a new estimate prepared by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. The CBO also estimates that 10.9 million more people would be without health insurance in 2034 as the result of the House-passed legislation, given changes to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act under the bill. House Republicans are aiming to cut at least $1.5 trillion in spending to offset trillions in tax cuts, while also raising the debt ceiling by $4 trillion. The package, which Mr. Trump refers to as the "big, beautiful bill," is now in the hands of the Senate after making it out of the House before Memorial Day. The bill is expected to undergo changes in the Senate before heading back to the lower chamber. This is a developing story and will be updated.
