US Q4 unit labor costs prelim +3.0% vs +3.4% expected

  • US fourth quarter 2024 unit labor cost and productivity data
  • Prior was +0.8% (revised to +0.5%)
  • Productivity prelim +3.0% vs +1.4% expected
  • Prior productivity +2.2% (revised to +2.3%)

This is a low-tier indicator but it's dovish and emphasizes that the Fed will likely be able to cut later this year if there's any weakness creeping into the economy.
