U.S. hiring strengthens, but involuntary part-time work rises
U.S. payrolls rose 165,000 in October, above the prior 12-month average of 48,000, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports. Average hourly earnings increased 0.4% on the month and 3.1% over the year. August and September hiring was revised up by a combined 84,000. The stronger hiring picture has a qualification: unemployment changed little at 4.1%, while 339,000 more people worked part time for economic reasons.

Counter view: Limitation: Stronger payroll growth coexists with an increase in involuntary part-time employment.

Justin Low says the next test is whether Wall Street sustains the recovery, with AI concerns and the direction of U.S.–Iran policy still unresolved.

U.S. quits rise while hiring and layoffs change little
More Americans quit their jobs in September, but the broader labor-turnover picture changed little. The BLS reported 3.4 million quits, alongside 7.5 million job openings, 5.4 million hires and 1.6 million layoffs and discharges. Accommodation and food services led the increase in quits. August openings were revised up by 111,000 to 7.2 million. The release distinguishes vacancies at month-end from hiring and departures over the whole month.

More from the agenda 6Impact 2Rare-earth deliveries test the U.S.–China trade truce
Washington says China’s rare-earth deliveries are falling short of its trade commitments, InvestingLive reports, citing the Financial Times. U.S. officials put fulfilment at about two-thirds; Beijing disputes that assessment. The reported truce runs through January 10, 2027. The practical test is whether export approvals bring more material to manufacturers, rather than another diplomatic assurance.

Open the storyImpact 2U.S. layoffs stay limited, but continuing jobless claims rise
U.S. initial jobless claims fell to 189,000 in the week ending October 31, while continuing claims rose to 1,718,000 for the earlier week ending October 24, InvestingLive reports. The initial-claims four-week average also declined, suggesting limited layoff pressure. Rising continuing claims temper that picture: people already receiving benefits may be taking longer to find work. Both series are seasonally adjusted and subject to revision.

Open the storyImpact 2U.S. services orders slow as hiring strengthens
U.S. services growth softened in October, but hiring improved, InvestingLive reports from the ISM survey. The new-orders index fell to 55.9 from 59.8 and business activity eased to 53.8 from 56.5. Employment rose to 51.4 from 50.1. Prices paid edged down to 73.0 from 74.0 but remained elevated. The combination points to continuing expansion with less momentum, while persistent input-cost pressure complicates the inflation outlook.

Open the storyImpact 2U.S. construction spending falls as housing weakens
U.S. construction spending fell 1.9% in September, driven by a 5.5% drop in private residential spending, InvestingLive reports from Census Bureau data. Private nonresidential spending rose 1.1%, providing a partial offset. August’s gain was revised to 2.0% from +0.9%. The figures measure dollar spending at seasonally adjusted annual rates, so the decline does not isolate changes in building activity from prices.
