Institution: Sweden's weak economic data highlights the need to further loosen monetary policy. Torbjorn Isaksson, chief analyst of Nordic United Bank, said that the weak economic data in October highlighted the fragility of Sweden's recovery and needed to further loosen monetary policy to support growth. He said that the decline occurred after the sharp decline in September, indicating that the fourth quarter started very weakly. Isaksson said that household consumption fell by 0.3% in the month, which was disappointing and would be a concern of the Swedish central bank. At the same time, the production of the commercial sector decreased by 0.8% in that month, the production of the construction sector increased, and the manufacturing orders remained basically unchanged. "Overall, the October data is weaker than we expected."After the decline in the second quarter, the labor cost in the third quarter of the United States was revised downwards. After the decline in the previous three months, the increase in labor cost in the third quarter of the United States was lower than the initial value, further proving that the job market is no longer a source of inflationary pressure. According to data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Tuesday, the unit labor cost increased at an annualized rate of 0.8% from July to September, and decreased by 1.1% after revision in the previous quarter. The initial value of labor costs showed an increase of 1.9% in the third quarter. The adjustment of these two cycles reflects the downward adjustment of hourly salary. During the period from July to September, the annual rate of productivity increased by 2.2%, which was not revised, compared with 2.1% in the previous quarter.TSMC ADR fell before the market, but analysts said that the demand for artificial intelligence remained strong. TSMC ADR fell by 0.6% in pre-market trading in the United States, after the world's largest chip foundry announced its sales data for November. Analysts said that the data is a positive signal of TSMC's quarterly revenue. Bernstein analysts said that the company's revenue in October and November totaled 590 billion Taiwan dollars, accounting for 69.6% of TSMC's guidance midpoint in the fourth quarter of 2024, close to the high end of the range of 65-72% in December of the past eight years. If December follows the average seasonal factors of the past eight years, the income in the fourth quarter of 2024 will be 1.7% higher than the midpoint of the guidance interval and 1.2% higher than the market expectation.
