ADP Report: 28,000 Jobs Expected, But Shutdown Uncertainty Remains

The U.S. private sector is poised to show modest job growth in October, with an expected gain of 28,000 jobs according to the ADP report. This comes after a sharp decline of 32,000 jobs in September. However, the government shutdown continues to cast a shadow on the economic landscape, as official non-farm payroll data remains delayed. Economists warn that this ADP data might be inflated and potentially lead to market volatility when released on Wednesday.
