From think.ing.com|Apr 30, 2024We have seen a big jump in the US 1Q employment cost index of 1.2% quarter-on-quarter versus 0.9% in 4Q23, well above the 1% expected and above every single individual forecast in the Bloomberg survey. Not a good look as this is the Federal Reserve's favoured measure of labour costs, and given labour costs are the biggest cost input in a service sector-led economy, such as the US, it can help to keep price pressures elevated. This reinforces the prospect of hawkish messaging from the Fed tomorrow. The details show the strength was ...

From bnnbloomberg.ca|Jan 31, 2024A broad gauge of US labor costs cooled by more than forecast in a fresh sign of easing inflation pressures that give Federal Reserve officials room to cut interest rates this year. The employment cost index, which measures wages and benefits, increased 0.9% in the fourth quarter, the smallest advance since 2021, after rising 1.1% in the prior three-month period, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics figures released Wednesday. A separate report from the ADP Research Institute showed companies added a smaller-than-expected 107,000 ...

From axios.com|Oct 31, 2023The labor market is still hot. Workers are still empowered. And as a result, Americans are winning higher wages and more favorable benefits. Why it matters: Even after 18 months of Federal Reserve tightening and abundant recession chatter, the ability of workers to achieve pay gains has hardly diminished. • It's creating more sustained inflation risks while simultaneously bolstering household finances. Driving the news: The Employment Cost Index, the gold standard measure of what employers spend on compensation, rose 1.1% in the ...

From think.ing.com|Jul 28, 2023This morning’s US macro data is another nice combination that fits the soft landing narrative the market is currently enamoured with. While strongly hinted at in yesterday’s 2Q GDP report, we get confirmation of decent consumer spending in June, but not too hot with real personal spending up 0.4% month-on-month (consensus 0.3%) while May was revised up from 0.0 to 0.1%. Yet at the same time, the inflation metrics are softer with the core personal consumer expenditure deflator – a broader measure of inflation than CPI - confirmed at ...
