AdvisorShares Weekly Market Review-Down 89% In Bitcoin Terms
November 11, 2017--Highlights of the Week Ending 12/8/2017
Macro
The monthly jobs report came in strong but without fireworks with 228,000 jobs created versus an expectation of 195,000-200,000. The headline unemployment rate was steady at 4.1% while the broader U6 moved up a tick 8.0%.
The Labor Force Participation rate printed at 62.8% and revisions were quiet, adding a net 3000 jobs to the last two months. Wages however continue to slog along without making any progress as they again grew by 0.2% for the month, leading to a 2.5% gain year over year. The take here probably needs to be that we are adding jobs but without an increase in discretionary income people are more likely to be able just pay the bills and not provide the type of consumption that would hopefully propel the economy onward and upward or at the very least the lack of increased discretionary income would be a drag on the economy.<>view more
