Andreassen notes that the expected US job growth of 115,000 exceeds what most analysts consider sustainable long-term given reduced immigration-driven population growth, while also flagging that Norges Bank has forecast unemployment to rise toward 2.4% and that a jump to 2.2% would likely prevent a summer interest rate hike.NewswireCanada Nickel Awards Exclusive Mandate for US$600 million Investment Tax Credit Loan Facility to SB1 Markets ASCanada Nickel appointed SB1 Markets as exclusive advisor to arrange debt financing of up to US$600 million for its Crawford Nickel Project.
