Macroeconomic Background
▪ Recently, U.S. stock employment data has been under pressure, with the unemployment rate rising to 4.6% in November, and non-farm employment increasing by only 64,000 jobs in November, while non-farm employment decreased by 105,000 jobs in October. Manufacturing jobs have decreased, and while initial jobless claims have fallen, they remain at a high level. Slowing wage growth has led to a more cautious outlook for Federal Reserve policy, reflecting weakening economic momentum and exerting some pressure on the market. However, the strong performance of the technology and new energy sectors supported the overall market performance, alleviating the negative impact of macro pressures.
