December 2024

Happy December! Recent jobs numbers show unemployment holding steady at 4.2 percent in November while job creation rebounded to 227,000 new jobs from a revised 36,000 new jobs in October. With labor markets holding steady, the Federal Reserve is likely to cut another 25 basis points from the federal funds rate at its December meeting. Meanwhile, consumer confidence in the economy as measured by the University of Michigan increased from 70.5 in October to 73.0 in November. There are many unknowns with every new administration, but existing strength in the economy combined with efforts to reduce regulations and curb government spending appear to be welcomed as we enter 2025.  I hope you enjoy the holidays with family and friends. Merry Christmas!

All the Best, Jon Gauthier, President, GWM
