Bank of America Warns of Looming Unemployment Shock
Bank of America (BofA) analysts are warning of a collapsing U.S. labor market and a potential rise in unemployment next year.
They also recommended selling a stock market rally ahead of the likely surge in job losses.

“We’re selling risk rallies from here,” he said, reiterating his preference for bonds over equities in the first half of 2023.
