Please join Ralf Preusser in conversation with Aditya Bhave and Mark Cabana after the US labor market report. The team will discuss the US payroll print in detail and give their thoughts on what this is likely to mean for the Fed and the US rate market. We will also elaborate on what we have learnt about the US economy over the holidays and why this doesn't make the Fed's job any easier.
