U.S. productivity just surged +4.9%. The strongest reading in nearly six years.
At the same time, labor costs fell –1.9%.
Higher output with lower costs is the holy grail: growth without inflation.
Put simply:
• Productivity jumped from ~3.3% to 4.9%
• Labor costs flipped from +1% to –1.9%
No surprise the Atlanta Fed’s Q4 GDP forecast just climbed to +5.4%.

A Minneapolis McDonald's is REFUSING to let ICE agents enter.
@breccastoll
: "We couldn't help but notice there's a sign that says, 'No ICE,' on the door."
Security Guard: "This is private property, so you can't just break the law because you're a federal agent…"

An 18-year-old Wisconsin man accused of killing his parents and stealing their money to fund a plan to assassinate President Trump pleaded guilty to two homicide counts in a deal with prosecutors Thursday, locking himself into two life prison sentences.
Nikita Casap pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree intentional homicide in Waukesha County Circuit Court in connection with the deaths of his stepfather, Donald Mayer, and his mother, Tatiana Casap, last year. In exchange, prosecutors dropped seven other charges, including two counts of hiding a corpse and theft.
Each homicide count carries a mandatory life prison sentence. Judge Ralph Ramirez could choose to make Casap eligible for parole after he serves 20 years on each count when he is sentenced on March 5.
Casap trembled in his seat at the defense table as Ramirez asked him if he understood the ramifications of his pleas and whether he shot his mother and Mayer. He responded "Yes, your honor" to everything.
Casap's attorney, public defender Joseph Rifelj, spoke only to confirm the terms of the plea agreement with Ramirez and to say that he had sufficient time to speak with Casap about it. Rifelj left the hearing without speaking to reporters.
Federal authorities have accused Casap of planning his parents' murders, buying a drone and explosives and sharing his plans with others, including a Russian speaker. They said in a federal search warrant that he wrote a manifesto calling for Mr. Trump's assassination and was in touch with others about his plan to kill Mr. Trump and overthrow the U.S. government.
