7. Wu’s Weekly Macro Indicators & Analysis: US Non-Farm Payroll Report, “Tech Spring Gala” CES

Summary

Last week, the Federal Reserve meeting minutes showed moderate GDP growth, continued cooling of the labor market, and steady economic activity; this week focuses on the US non-farm payroll report and the “Tech Spring Gala” CES.

Review of Last Week

The December Federal Reserve meeting minutes indicated that the US real GDP has grown modestly this year, the labor market continues to cool, and wage growth is roughly the same as last year; economic activity in Q3 was steady, but the average growth rate in the first three quarters remains moderate, below previous expectations for 2024. A government shutdown is expected to weigh on short-term GDP. Officials expect that with improved financial conditions and diminishing tariff impacts, economic growth after 2025 will slightly exceed potential, unemployment will gradually decline, and inflation, after short-term pressure, will return to 2% by 2028, though overall uncertainty remains high. Participants generally believe that inflation risks are skewed upward, while labor market-related risks are skewed downward.

The US initial jobless claims for the week ending December 27 were 199,000, the lowest since the week ending November 29, expected at 220,000, revised from 214,000 to 215,000.

The Bank of Japan released a summary of opinions from the December monetary policy meeting: at this meeting, some policymakers suggested “future adjustments to monetary easing should also be considered at appropriate times,” with calls for continued rate hikes. Others advocated “proceeding at a pace of a few months at a time.”

China’s official manufacturing PMI for December was 50.1%, the first time since April to enter expansion territory.
