Swiss Re reported a profit of $100 million in Q3 2024, significantly impacted by a $2.4 billion increase in reserves for past-year claims, particularly in the U.S. liability business. The Property & Casualty Re division's profit fell to $603 million, while the Life & Health Re division performed better with a profit of $1.2 billion. Looking ahead, the group expects to exceed $3 billion in profit for the year, despite anticipated losses from Hurricane Milton.
The US unemployment rate held steady at 4.1 percent in October, with a slight increase in the number of unemployed to 7 million. Job creation was limited to around 12,000 new non-farm jobs, influenced by Hurricane Milton and a Boeing strike, yet the labor market remains robust despite these challenges. Economic indicators suggest no signs of a slowdown, even amid interest rate hikes.
