What Do The US Jobs Numbers Really Mean For the Economy?


Before & After, developed in partnership with Refinitiv, looks at the upcoming events and announcements that will shape your investment portfolio. 

In this episode, Roger Hirst talks about how WTI crude oil has cratered over the past couple of weeks, the vulnerabilities it continues to face, and what would have to happen to indicate real risk in global growth. He also discusses the upcoming report for US non-farm payrolls.
