US: wage growth stronger than you think – ECI reviewNordea
We recommend taking a deeper look at the details of today’s Q1 ECI report, which shows a clear uptrend in underlying wage pressures. Excluding incentive pay which recently has driven the volatility in the ECI, private-sector wages were up 2.5% y/y in Q1, the strongest pace in seven years. This gives more support to our forecast of a steeper USD yield curve later this year and a full four Fed rate hikes in 2017.
