The US added 199,000 jobs in the month of November according to the latest jobs data print, while consumer sentiment rose by 13.2% month-over-month alongside falling inflation expectations. Interactive Brokers Chief Strategist Steve Sosnick believes this combo of data should assuage recession risks while markets price in the Fed’s interest rate narrative for 2024.”Does [Fed Chair Jerome Powell] have his usual Goldilocks stance at the FOMC meeting where we get a little bit of this, little bit of that, and the market can read in what it wants?” Sosnick ponders to Yahoo Finance. “Or does he go a little more Grinch… at the meeting and sort of say, ‘Guys, you […]

November jobs report and the impact on Fed rate hikes

According to the latest jobs report, the US added 199,000 jobs in the month of November while unemployment fell to 3.7%, both data points contrary to economists’ expectations. RSM Chief Economist Joe Brusuelas likens this labor print as “just another in a steady drumbeat of positive economic news,” while Wolfe Research Chief Economist Stephanie Roth believes markets could re-adjust after running with the Federal Reserve’s previous employment narrative. “By the time we get to the second half of next year, the Fed will be well-positioned to cut rates because we’re going to be headed towards 2.5% on core and top-line inflation by the end of next year,” Brusuelas tells Yahoo […]
