The US employment report last Friday was weak, but distorted. It does not add much useful information on the US economy, although it serves as a reminder that real time economic data is not reliable and is frequently revised. Federal Reserve Chair Powell’s strategy of data dependency depends on undependable data.

It is US employment report Friday. This report is distorted by hurricanes, strike action, and the fact that the data is always wrong. Taking a broad sweep of economic data, the signs are that the labor market is doing fine. The ongoing strength of US consumer spending suggests little fear of unemployment, for instance.
Anwiti Bahuguna serves as Chief Investment Officer of global asset allocation, and portfolio manager for Northern Trust Asset Management. Anwiti shares her views on the US economy, real estate, along with outcome implications of the US election to markets. Plus, we spend time highlighting where opportunities can be located. Host: Daniel Cassidy
After the excitement of yesterday’s GDP data, today investors are granted another peek into the hedonistic lifestyle of the US consumer. Personal income and consumption data are due, and both should be relatively buoyant. Job security and rising real incomes are powerful forces for supporting economic activity through consumer spending.
With Election Day just days away, Shane drops by to update on what swing state polling is pointing to, and how the Presidential candidates are spending their final days on the campaign trail. Plus, an update on developments as it relates to Israel and Iran. Featured is Shane Lieberman, Senior Governmental Affairs Advisor, Governmental Affairs US. Host: Daniel Cassidy

Third quarter GDP data comes out of some European economies, and the US. The data will be wrong because (as recent US revisions so clearly demonstrated) economic statistics fail to capture the rapid pace of structural economic change. Comparing headline GDP in countries like Italy and Germany (declining populations) with countries like the US (rising population) is unfair.
Leslie stops by to explain the factors that are driving rate volatility, along with potential US election outcome implications for fixed income investors. We also cover a near-term outlook for fixed income markets, along with review positioning considerations within the asset class. Featured is Leslie Falconio, Head of Taxable Fixed Income Strategy Americas, UBS Chief Investment Office. Host: Daniel Cassidy
US job vacancy data is due. The survey response rate for this data is so low as to class those who do bother to respond as peculiar. Moreover, the data measures externally advertised vacancies only, and the surge and retreat in job vacancy numbers probably owe more to the changing ratio of internal to external job vacancies within companies.
With Election Day roughly a week away, combined with the upcoming October employment report, November FOMC meeting, and an abundance of Q3 corporate earnings ahead, investors will have a lot to digest over the next two weeks. Jason provides some thoughts on these factors, along with outlines CIO’s medium-term market outlook, and latest positioning guidance. Featured is Jason Draho, Head of Asset Allocation Americas, UBS Chief Investment Office. Host: Daniel Cassidy
Japan’s governing coalition lost its majority in the Diet lower house. Prime Minister Ishida signaled that he does not intend to resign, but a third coalition partner must now be sought. This creates market uncertainty. If political bargaining drags on, the Bank of Japan might delay raising rates. Opinion polls underestimated support for the opposition—a reminder that investment decisions should not be based on opinion poll evidence, anywhere.
In this livestream, Global Head of Investment Communications Kiran Ganesh and colleagues discussed the implications for Fed easing and US equities, while evaluating risks from the upcoming US election, and looked at the scenarios for the months ahead.
US Michigan consumer sentiment is due, including the inflation expectations reading. Is this useful information? It is not. The data will be distorted by frequency bias (there is more to life than food and fuel for the family fleet of SUVs, but that is pretty much all US households focus on for inflation). Political bias will also distort the data—Republicans think they are living in Weimar Germany, Democrats think inflation is under control.
Patricia Zobel serves as Head of Macroeconomic Research and Market Strategy for Guggenheim Partners Investment Management, and previously served as an executive at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (New York Fed). Patricia shares perspective on a range of topics, spanning an outlook for the US economy, to the direction of monetary policy. We also spend time on allocation preferences across fixed income, real estate, and ex-US. Host: Daniel Cassidy
