Various indicators point to an already tight labour market, with signs the economy could be running out of easily employable workers. While […]

Secretary Bessent’s First Month in Office

Dominique Dwor-Frecaut

Summary The incoming Treasury Secretary will likely have two key priorities. First is funding the government: expect lower bill issuance and a lower TGA target at the February QRA.

    Macro Hive

    Key Events G10 In the US, these are the key data prints: Personal income, spending and PCE – Friday. No surprise on core PCE, Powell has already told us that the Fed expects 2.8% YoY.

  2. Are Sub-100k NFPs the New Normal?

    Dominique Dwor-Frecaut

    Summary Recent NFP prints and pre-pandemic CBO projections suggest sub-100k NFPs could be the new normal now the immigration surge is over. If so, a large negative surprise at the 6 December NFP release is likely, which would rekindle recessions fears and expectations of Fed cuts. I expect the Fed to respond with a cut […]
