Today\u2019s weaker-than-anticipated ADP employment report paired with market friendly commentary from NY Fed President John Williams and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is halting bond pain and driving bargain hunters into equities. The slowest pace of hiring since January was accompanied by decelerating wage gains and half of the publication\u2019s 10 categories losing jobs, which signals an increasingly fragile labor situation that may prohibit the US monetary policy authority from hiking more than once. Furthermore, the leader of the Fed\u2019s second district, who votes at every meeting, stated that inflation is easing and mentioned that yields are soaring due to robust growth driven by the AI-buildout rather than worries about price pressures. Meanwhile, Washington\u2019s fiscal chief said that the jump in rates is temporary and will ease after the Middle East conflict is resolved, although geopolitical affairs remain complicated and there\u2019s currently not much light at the end of the tunnel. The messaging is boosting investor sentiment, which has faced significant headwinds in recent sessions. As a result, the yield curve is descending modestly in bull-steepening fashion led by the shorter tenors while all major stock benchmarks are advancing amidst 9 of the 11 sectors in the green. Additionally, demand for downside hedges is dropping as volatility protection instruments see lighter premiums. Elsewhere, the greenback and is nearly flat, commodities are broadly higher..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ADP Reports Slower Hiring<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A cyclical downturn in hiring last month weighed on this morning\u2019s ADP-jobs report. The headline figure of 38k marked the third consecutive deceleration, missed the consensus expectation of 47k and was below July\u2019s 46k. Employment losses totaling 17k, 16k, 5k, 5k and 4k across the manufacturing, professional\/business services, natural resources\/mining, trade\/transportation\/utilities and information sectors offset gains in four of the economically sensitive areas. Indeed, the leisure\/hospitality, construction, other services and financial activities categories only increased headcounts by 16k, 12k, 6k and 6k. The education\/health services segment kept the overall statistic positive, as the group led the way, gaining 45k. Meanwhile, roster additions were dominated by large firms with 500 people or more on staff, as they collectively expanded their payrolls by 34k. But the small- and mid-size establishments, characterized by businesses with 1-49, and 50-499 employees, registered a 3k increase on the former, while coming in unchanged on the latter. Furthermore, compensation trends weakened too, with the median year over year (y\/y) change in gross pay dropping from 7.5% to 7.3% for job-changers, while remaining flat at 4.4% for those that stayed with their current company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Past performance is not indicative of future results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No Fundamental Justification For Recovery<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Today\u2019s meaningful recovery in equities doesn\u2019t have a fundamental justification. Rather, it\u2019s likely that bulls just got tired of losing for three consecutive sessions and investors were looking for a reason to buy the dip. But the positive vibes coming from leadership in Washington and from the Fed\u2019s branch right in the vicinity of Wall Street offered enough motivation from a cabinet member and a voting policymaker that the resumption of fresh stock market records could be around the corner. It\u2019s the combined focus squarely on a case for lower interest rates that got participants excited, with one leader mentioning a temporary lift from geopolitical tensions while the other communicated that inflationary pressures are actually cooperating quite well when you exclude the volatile energy component. Furthermore, Williams\u2019s statement detailing that heavier fuel charges haven\u2019t spread much to the overall economy provided a sense of optimism that cost forces and yields would plunge if and when a resolution between the US and Iran is reached, a view that Treasury Secretary Bessent declared also. Meanwhile, this afternoon and tomorrow are poised to present quiet trading action absent any unforeseen events, as the financial community gets ready for a significant nonfarm payrolls report this Friday, following a July number that featured a notable contraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
International Roundup<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Bank of Canada Holds Key Rate for Eighth Consecutive Month<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The Bank of Canada this morning decided to maintain its key overnight interest rate at 2.25%, but it stated that there is an upside risk to inflation with growing uncertainty regarding both energy prices and the trade war with the US. On a positive note, it reported that higher fuel prices do not appear to have triggered stronger price pressures in other areas of the economy. This morning marked the eighth consecutive decision to maintain the rate, which was established with a 25-basis point cut last October. This decision to hold was widely anticipated by fixed-income markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In recent months, annualized inflation has been around 3%, considerably hotter than the bank\u2019s 2% target. Nevertheless, in its post meeting statement, the bank noted that the Middle East crisis is keeping oil and gas prices higher for a longer period than originally anticipated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Middle East conflict isn\u2019t the only source of uncertainty with the latest US trade dispute, which includes tariffs and retaliatory duties, clouding the outlook. The new taxes from the trade war could eventually be passed on to consumers, fueling higher inflation and threatening Canada\u2019s economic recovery. In the meantime, the nation continues to experience excess supply. In other areas, exports have been improving, labor conditions have strengthened and consumption has made solid gains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
South Korea Price Pressures Strengthened Last Month<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Inflation picked up in Korea last month with the Consumer Price Index climbing 0.2% month over month (m\/m) and 3.1% y\/y following July\u2019s 0.2% monthly decline and 2.8% 12-month ascent, according to the Ministry of Data and Statistics. Despite the hotter results, the metrics were below the economist consensus estimates for 0.3% and 3.2% m\/m and y\/y prints. The core version, which includes food and energy because of their volatile prices, was mixed with the m\/m rate falling from 0.4% in July to 0.2% last month. When compared to the year-ago period, however, the core gauge was up 3.4% following July\u2019s 2.6% print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Within the headline publication, categories that increased m\/m and the extent of their changes were as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Food and non-alcoholic beverages, 1%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Communication, 0.5%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels, 0.3%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Restaurants and hotels, 0.3%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Alcoholic beverages and tobacco, 0.2%<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Furnishings, household equipment and routine maintenance, 0.2%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Clothing and footwear, education, and miscellaneous goods and services were unchanged while the categories of health and transport experienced 0.1% declines. Prices for the recreation and culture group, furthermore, slipped by 0.4%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia GDP Slows on Annual Basis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Australia\u2019s gross domestic product growth in the second quarter slowed from 2.5% y\/y during the first three months of 2026 to 2.1%, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The slowing growth was still strong enough to exceed the economist consensus estimate of 1.8%. The quarter-over-quarter comparison was favorable too with GDP expansion of 0.4%. Economists anticipated a repeat of the first quarter\u2019s 0.3% advance. For the q\/q result, household consumption contributed 0.2 percentage points. Discretionary spending jumped 1.4% with sales of electric and hybrid cars hitting an all-time high because consumers sought to lower vehicle operating costs. Tourism weakened, however, because the Middle East conflict disrupted travel to the northern hemisphere. Households also consumed less gasoline in response to higher prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trade contributed another 0.1 percentage point with the increase in exports exceeding the growth of products and services purchased from abroad. Demand for thermal coal as a substitute for liquid national gas during global supply disruptions was a tailwind. Favorable metallurgical prices also contributed to the acceleration in exports. Also during the second quarter, more robust private investment in buildings and construction was offset by a decline in business machines, including computer-related items. As a result, the broad category had no impact on GDP. In other areas, profits among private non-financial corporations ascended by 2.5%, largely due to strengthening sales and higher prices for coal, crude oil and lithium. The second quarter also included a 1.5% increase in employee compensation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
