The jobs report on Friday will be closely watched by investors seeking signals for interest rate cuts ahead of the following week’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.  May’s jobs numbers will come as several Fed officials have brought attention to the central bank’s "dual mandate which obligates the Fed to balance slow inflation with low unemployment. April’s payroll report showed employers slowed their hiring, with the 175,000 positions added lower than economists expected, while the unemployment rate in that month edged up to 3.9%. The slowdown was encouraging to some market watchers who were looking for signs that inflation was cooling.  In addition to showing if jobs remain available, the report also will provide details on wage growth, another key element that factors into the path of prices.  Recent inflation reports have prompted several Fed officials to raise questions about the timing of interest rate cuts, after having projected in March that the Fed could make as many as three cuts this year. While the inflation outlook has made officials hesitant to forecast interest rate cuts, a weak labor report could make rate cuts appear necessary for the job market to some Fed officials.  Investors will also be eyeing the Institute of Supply Management  and S&P flash U.S. manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI)  on Monday, along with the service-sector PMI from those agencies on Wednesday, which could send signals on inflation and gross domestic product (GDP).
