On this December 5th episode, we examine a raft of data releases that together sketch a disquieting portrait of the US economy. The latest ADP report showed the economy losing 32,000 private-sector jobs in November, while the Challenger Job Cuts report registered more than 70,000 layoffs—only the third time since 2008 that November cuts have exceeded that threshold. The Beige Book echoed this deterioration, noting that firms have moved beyond hiring freezes and begun outright reductions in headcount, a trend reinforced by the ISM Manufacturing survey.Markets initially rallied on the release of September's Personal Consumption Expenditures report, encouraged by strong headline figures. Yet the underlying details told a more troubling story. Real PCE and real disposable personal income were essentially flat on the month, and both the headline and core PCE Price Index appear to be drifting upward. Notably, nondurable goods prices surged on both monthly and annual measures—potentially reflecting tariff-related pressures—raising doubts that these increases will prove temporary.Taken together, the data continue to form a mosaic consistent with a stagflationary backdrop: weakening activity, softening labor demand, and price pressures that are proving stubborn rather than transitory.

On this week's episode, a busy week of mixed economic signals—initial jobless claims hit a very low 191,000 while ADP reported a -32,000 decline in private payrolls—and a split economy where ISM Manufacturing remains in contraction as Services continue to expand. With a delayed September PCE inflation (the Fed's preferred inflation gauge) arriving today, just before next week's FOMC meeting, markets are leaning toward a 25 bp “risk management” cut as Treasury yields hover in a 4.05–4.15% range and auctions resume. Looking ahead to 2026, the team expects continued momentum without a recession, a need for discernment in AI rather than bubble fears, a potentially more dovish Fed posture amid leadership changes, a strong first half for equities, and a steady emphasis on diversification through debt concerns and midterm-election noise.Speakers: Brian Pietrangelo, Managing Director of Investment Strategy George Mateyo, Chief Investment Officer Rajeev Sharma, Head of Fixed Income Stephen Hoedt, Head of Equities  01:37 - Labor Market & Economy Split: Initial claims ~191,000 and below 225,000 for three weeks; BLS jobs report delayed to Dec 16; ADP shows -32,000 private payrolls—cooling, ISM Manufacturing remains in contraction (multi-year) while Services continue expanding—highlighting a bifurcated economy. 3:47 - Inflation & Fed setup: September PCE is the last read before the FOMC; markets price ~95% odds of a 25 bp cut, with dot‑plot dissents crucial for the 2026 rate path. 07:16 - Rates & Auctions: 10‑year Treasury trading ~4.05–4.15% with dip‑buying; auctions restart next week ($58 billion 3‑yr, $39 billion 10‑yr, $22 billion 30‑yr). 09:47 - 2026 Outlook Highlights: Momentum without recession; AI requires discernment (ecosystems forming, winners vs. losers); possible dovish tilt at the Fed amid leadership changes; equities set up for a strong first half with potential mid‑year inflation‑related volatility; stay diversified through debt/deficit concerns and midterm‑election uncertainty.  Additional Resources Rewatch: Key Wealth National Call: Managing Wealth in an Age of Disruption and Change  Key Questions Weekly Investment Brief Subscribe to our Key Wealth Insights newsletter Follow us on LinkedIn

Susan Spence from ISM Manufacturing reacts to the latest U.S. manufacturing data as the PMI shows contraction for the ninth straight month. “Supply deliveries are happening quicker,” which is actually a sign of overall slowness, she notes. However, some sectors like computers and food & beverage showed some strength, though Susan thinks that could be transitory. Susan previews how manufacturers are approaching 2026 and goes over some of the decisions they're making around tariffs and reshoring.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

The ISM Manufacturing survey has shown US firms have struggled to plan long-term amid this year's fluid tariff policy landscape. Economic uncertainty and the lingering risks of policy reversal are limiting manufacturers' confidence in making big investment or hiring decisions. Meanwhile, AI promises to increase demand for some manufacturing sectors while revolutionizing the production of others. In this episode, we talk with Sue Spence, Chair of the Institute for Supply Management (ISM) Manufacturing Business Survey Committee, about how tariff policies are influencing manufacturers' long-term planning, AI's impact on the operations and demands for manufacturing, and what worries manufacturers most heading into 2026.

There's a lot to keep on the radar to start the week's trading action. Kevin Green begins with PMI and ISM Manufacturing data hitting the wire. One data point gained traction while the other showed contraction. On the tariff front, Kevin dissects the "transactional truce" between the U.S. and China and why it's "all systems go" in the agricultural sector for now. There's not as much confidence in the rare earths industry where stocks like MP Materials (MP) and USA Rare Earth (USAR) continue to sell off.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Susan Spence breaks down the ISM Manufacturing PMI after the October report missed estimates. “We were not surprised” by the number falling, she notes, “We are in contraction in all the subindexes.” She adds that for every positive comment, they have one and a half negative ones, with over 50% of panelists citing tariffs. For a trend reversal, she's watching if New Orders can move upwards for several months.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Bitcoin has reclaimed $111K, but analysts warn the market structure remains fragile after last week's whale-driven sell-off. Key levels between $105K and $118K could dictate the next big move as volatility stays elevated.This week's U.S. economic calendar is stacked: ISM Manufacturing on Tuesday, JOLTS job openings Wednesday, a wave of ADP payrolls, jobless claims, and ISM Services on Thursday, and the all-important Nonfarm Payrolls Friday. Each release will shape Fed policy expectations and could spark major moves in risk assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has teased a “major announcement,” fueling speculation that could ripple through political and financial markets. Traders are watching closely, given Trump's history of market-moving statements and his administration's growing alignment with pro-crypto policies.

Mark Vitner and Susan Spence discuss May ISM Manufacturing PMI missing expectations. “It's the lowest level we've seen since the financial crisis,” says Mark, but sees some resilience in manufacturing. “The uncertainty around the tariff whiplash is not good for business,” emphasizes Susan, and it would take months to turn around even if trade issues were resolved tomorrow. “The inventories for customers…is low,” she adds.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.
