US Unit Labor Costs: -1.9% (Forecast -0.088%, Previous 1.0%)

  • US productivity came in at 4.9% vs 5% exp. and 3% previously

The report is overall positive for the stock market, singalling falling YoY labor costs (down almost 2%) but still solid (low) jobless claims and almost 5% higher productivity level. EURUSD reaction is mixed but quite strong economic conditions in the US support US dollar.
