Lukas Freund @lukasfreund.bsky.social · 10/03/2025An important channel for macro uncertainty is the interplay of financial & labor markets. Uncertainty exerts downward pressure on asset values, discouraging vacancy posting and making it harder for workers to find jobs. Potentially inflationary. 141
