๐Ÿšจ ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ US Q3 employment costs rise 0.8% in line as wage growth cools, ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Canada GDP stalls with a September dip flagged

  • ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ The US employment cost index rose 0.8% in Q3, matching the 0.8% forecast and down from 0.9% in Q2 (BLS, )
  • Wages and salaries slowed to 0.7% from 0.9%, and benefit costs eased to 0.9% from 1.0%

FO view: Canada's stall adds to the case that the Bank of Canada's hike was a stretch.

Not investment advice.
