Monthly Macro and Strategy | A deep dive in the labour market

January 9, 2023

"The labour market has been sending mixed signals of late. This month, we’ve decided to take a deep dive into one of the most important economic sectors: employment.”

— Sébastien Mc Mahon and Adil Mahroug

 

Highlights:

  • The Federal Reserve clearly has its sights set on the tightness of the labor market. Our deep dive suggests that clouds are starting to form and that the picture might be distorted
  • Contrary to 2022, we do not expect that valuations will play a key role in relative equity performance in 2023
  • We keep a defensive positioning, and temporarily downgrade the CAD/USD to neutral
