• Ochlazování amerického trhu práce pokračuje
  Ačkoliv akciový Wall Street nevstoupil do nového roku zrovna nejlépe, tak příběh super hladkého přistání americké ekonomiky stále žije. Alespoň touto řečí včera promluvila první důležitá konjunkturální data zveřejněná v tomto roce. Vedle poněkud rozporuplně se vyvíjející nálady v americkém průmyslu (index ISM sice vrostl, ale je stále hluboko pod 50 body) stojí především za zmínku včera publikovaná data z amerického trhu práce. Z nich totiž vyplynulo, že se Fedu přísnou měnovou politikou daří (prakticky kontinuálně) likvidovat převis nově otevřených pracovních pozic nad aktuální zásobou nezaměstnaných. V listopadu minulého roku činil poměr neobsazených pozic na počtu nezaměstnaných již 1,4, přičemž Fed může cílit na hodnotu 1-1,2 (v postcovidové době tento podíl vyskočil na hodnotu 2).

• Ochrnutí ve Francii: Nová kapitola politických zmatků
  Francouzský premiér Sébastien Lecornu rezignoval uprostřed prohlubující se politické krize, a to pouhý den poté, co prezident Emmanuel Macron oznámil nové složení kabinetu, a méně než měsíc od nástupu do funkce. Jde o třetího premiéra, který přišel o post kvůli neschopnosti prosadit klíčové reformy ve fragmentovaném parlamentu. Události výrazně otřásly francouzskými finančními trhy a vyvolaly ostrou domácí politickou debatu. Lecornu se zároveň stává nejkratší dobu sloužícím premiérem v dějinách Francie, což podtrhuje vážnou nejistotu ohledně budoucnosti země.
