America’s services sector is losing steam at a time when it’s highly unclear whether the broader job market will hold steady or result in unexpectedly higher unemployment.
The US Dollar continues to see a lot of support just below, and as a result, this is a market that will continue to be a bit of a “buy on the dips” type of situation going forward. This is a prime example of the so-called “carry trade.”
MUMBAI (Reuters) -The first budget by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's new government may tilt towards, but not pivot to welfare spending, with a focus on rural economy and job creation, economists at Goldman Sachs said in a note on Monday. The budget proposal for the financial year ending March 2025 will be presented on July 23, the government said over the weekend. Goldman economists expect the government to stick to its fiscal deficit target of 5.1% of GDP set in the interim budget but said it will likely make an "overarching statement" about long-term economic policy.
STORY: There might just be some hope for Japan’s underpaid workers - though figures out Monday painted a complicated picture. Real wages - that’s adjusted for inflation - fell for a record 26th month in May. However, average base pay actually rose at its fastest pace in 31 years. Economists say that’s a sign that big pay hikes agreed by companies in annual labor negotiations are filtering through to workers. Base pay jumped an average 2.5% on the year - the biggest number since early 1993, around the time Japan’s bubble economy burst. One economist told Reuters that the figure for real wages should also soon start rising. Factors driving the upturn include worsening labor shortages. That has seen wage hikes at all but the smallest firms outpacing inflation for the first time in 26 months. The Bank of Japan will be studying the numbers very carefully. Governor Kazuo Ueda has said he wants to see evidence that pay hikes are boosting inflation before he raises rates again. Reuters sources say a report from the bank later this month will say that pay increases are spreading - suggesting another move on rates could be approaching.

A former adviser to the People's Bank of China has said the country's central government should issue more treasury bonds to replace local debt, a call paired with entreaties for deeper reforms to address weak demand ahead of a crucial economic meeting this month. According to Li Daokui, director of the Academic Centre for Chinese Economic Practice and Thinking at Tsinghua University, high local debt loads have already dampened economic growth. Li, who was an adviser to China's central bank betw
(Reuters) -The euro slipped on Monday, but came off of overnight lows against the dollar after France's election pointed to a hung parliament. The U.S. dollar crept up from a more than three-week low after U.S. payrolls data on Friday boosted bets that the Federal Reserve will soon start cutting interest rates. French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday asked his prime minister to stay in the role for now, pending what will be difficult negotiations to form a new government after a surprise left-wing surge in elections that delivered a hung parliament.
