Neue Daten vom Arbeitsmarkt der USA: Die JOLTs (angebotene Stellen in den USA im Dezember) liegen mit 9,026 Millionen über der Erwartung (Prognose war 8,750 Millionen; Vormonat war 8,790 Millionen, nun aber auf 8,925 Millionen nach oben revidiert ).
Marktreaktion: die US-Renditen steigen, ebenso der Dollar, die US-Indizes tiefer. Starke Daten vom Arbeitsmarkt senken die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass die Fed bereits im März die Zinsen senken kann – daher die eigentloch paradoxe Reaktion auf an sich gute Nachrichten vom US-Arbeitsmarkt..
Dazu schreibt das Bureau of Labor Statistic, das die Daten erhebt:
The number of job openings changed little at 9.0 million on the last business day of December, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Over the month, the number of hires and total separations were little changed at 5.6 million and 5.4 million, respectively. Within separations, quits (3.4 million) and layoffs and discharges (1.6 million) changed little. This release includes estimates of the number and rate of job openings, hires, and separations for the total nonfarm sector, by industry, and by establishment size class.
Job Openings
On the last business day of December, the number of job openings changed little at 9.0 million; this measure is down from a series high of 12.0 million in March 2022.
