US Q3 prelim unit labor costs -0.8% vs +0.7% expected

  • Third quarter productivity data
  • Prior was +2.2% (revised to +3.2%)
  • Q3 productivity +4.7% vs +4.1% expected
  • Prior productivity +3.5% (revised to +3.6%)

The plain takeaway from this data is that it's disinflationary as productivity surges but measuring it is notoriously difficult so I'd be careful trading on this data.
