The Employment Report-First Friday of the month at 8:30 ET for the prior month

The Labor Department will be in the spot light again tomorrow morning when they post January's Employment data. This report will give us the U.S. unemployment rate and the number of jobs added or lost during the month among other related statistics. Analysts are expecting to see the unemployment rate remain at 10.0% and that approximately 15,000 new jobs were added to the economy. An increase in unemployment and a loss in payrolls would be great news for the bond market. It would probably create another bond market rally, leading to lower mortgage rates tomorrow morning. However, if the report reveals stronger than expected results, we can expect to see mortgage rates move higher tomorrow
