PJ Tabit and Tony Zipparro cover the latest Jobless Claims report. PJ describes it as “mixed,” but says the good news is there hasn't been a surge in unemployment. Tony notes “a lot of negative revisions down” but thinks the job market is falling into a “Goldilocks scenario” that could “fall off a cliff in a month or two.” They talk about their expectations for the Employment numbers next week.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Positive Market Performance and Key Economic Indicators - June 12th Edition In this edition of Dividend Cafe, Brian Szytel discusses the positive performance across major indices with the Dow up 101 points, the S&P rising 0.38%, and the Nasdaq up a quarter percent. Treasury yields showed weakness, and a lower-than-expected PPI number contributed to falling interest rates and a slightly weaker dollar. Initial jobless claims showed a slight increase for the fourth consecutive week, signaling a softening labor market, similar to levels seen in the summer of 2023. Brian also touches on the US-China trade talks, the significance of rare earth minerals and technology exports, and the current state of private real estate investment trusts, like Starwood and Blackstone.

Kia ora,Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news US Republicans are becoming more like the CPC than they probably realise.But first, there were 209,000 initial jobless claims in the US last week, a small decrease from the prior week but less of a decrease seasonal factors would have assumed. That resulted in the widely reported seasonally adjusted level to jump to its highest in eight months. There are now 1.757 mln people on these benefits, almost +100,000 more than at this time last year.That level may grow. The Challenger job cut report came in with another outsized count for May, and were up +47% over the same in 2024. They say layoff activity is now spreading to other sectors than just the Federal government.US exports rose slightly in April, enough to claim an all-time record high. And as expected, actually a bit more than expected, US imports fell sharply after the March pre-tariff splurge. The average of March and April was about the same level they recorded in each of January and February 2025. For April 2025, the US$350 bln in imports were little-different to the April 2024 level of US$340 bln. It only looks like a big drop because of all the front-loading generated by tariff-tax uncertainty.We should note that US data reliability may become more like Chinese data - heavily influenced by politics. In a random note, the BLS said it isn't going to survey prices as deeply anymore, which could mean "inflation" will be what the Administration says it is. They are also shifting that statistics agency to be under Howard Lutnick's control. And the Republicans have gone on the attack at the bipartisan Congressional Budget Office for saying their new Budget will swell their deficit by US$2.4 tln. The employees who released that are being laid off. They will be replaced with more compliant analysts.Meanwhile, there has been a phone call between China president Xi and US President Trump. But is seems to have achieved little other than agreement for more talks. However, mutual visits are a likely result, and the set-piece opportunities may give Xi an opportunity to get Trump to "chicken out".North of the border, Canadian exports fell more than -10% while their imports fell -3.5% in April. Again, the same trade and tariff-war factors are at play here, and that has resulted in a record trade deficit for them.In China, the Caixin China General Services PMI rose in May from April's seven-month low and in line with market forecasts of only a very modest expansion. This survey shows a small uptick in new business and activity, despite a renewed decline in new export orders. New export orders fell for the first time in 2025, dampened by Trump's tariffs. The official Chinese services PMI also showed a modest expansion, one weaker than this Caixin version.In Taiwan, their inflation rate eased to 1.6% in May from 2.0% in April, and that is its lowest rate since March 2021. They are back to about what it was running in the years prior to the pandemic.Singapore released April retail sales data and that showed virtually no expansion there. Over the past six months, their retail activity has been quite unstable in its ups and downs.As expected, the ECB cut its key interest rates by -25 bps at its overnight meeting, to 2.15%. Updated inflation and economic forecasts show eurozone inflation is near their 2% target, with projections showing 2.0% in 2025 (vs 2.3% previously), 1.6% in 2026 (vs 1.9% previously), and 2.0% in 2027. They say their expansion is being held back by global events but all the same they see their combined economy expanding slightly faster over the next three years.Australia's exports rose +2.1% in April from the same month a year ago. Their imports were up +3.5% on the same basis. The result was a sharp weakening in their merchandise trade surplus, as you might have expected. It would have been worse if their gold exports had not come in +48% higher than year ago levels in April. The longer term view of the year to April 2025 compared to the year to April 2024 saw exports down -5.2% and imports up +2.7% showing the balance is tightening over the longer term too.Household spending in Australia in April was flat. But spending on recreational and cultural activities, health, and dining out contributed to a +1.5% rise in services spending, while spending on goods fell by -1.1%, with households buying less clothing and footwear and new vehicles.Last week, container freight rates jumped an outsized +41% from the prior week, with capacity struggling to cope with the sudden Trump tariff-tax pause and a new rush to beat what might happen in 90 days. It was impossible for shipping lines to adjust capacity for this unexpected shift. The largest rises were trans-Pacific rises, up almost +60%. Despite that, these container freight rates are now -25% lower than year-ago levels, although those year ago levels were in a sharp upswing that ran to mid-July 2024. Bulk cargo rates are also on the move up, gaining +9.5% in the past week.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.39%, and up +4 bps from yesterday. Wall Street is weaker with the S&P500 down -0.7% in Thursday trade as confidence in public policy fades in a sudden Trump/Musk slanging match. The price of gold will start today at US$3,352/oz, and down -US$28 from yesterday.American oil prices are up +50 USc at just over US$63/bbl while the international Brent price is up the same at just over US$65/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is still at 60.4 USc, essentially unchanged from yesterday at this time. Against the Aussie we are also unchanged at just under 92.8 AUc. Against the euro we are up +10 bps at 52.9 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 68.3 and up +10 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$103,373 and down -1.6% from yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just under +/-1.2%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again on Monday.

S&P Futures are displaying strong gains this morning after a federal court struck down President Trump's tariff agenda. The Court of International Trade ruled that Trump had overstepped his authority by imposing broad, across-the-board duties and issued a permanent injunction blocking enforcement of the contested tariffs.  Trump retains legal options to try to reimpose tariffs, though these alternatives may face their own legal and political hurdles.  The Trump administration has ordered chip-design software makers to stop selling to China. On the economic front today are reports on GDP & Jobless Claims. Earnings will be a key focus today. NVDA, CRM, A, ELF, BURL & FUTU are higher after their reports. This afternoon, COST, DELL, MRVL, XS, ULTA and GAP will be reporting.

APAC stocks were mostly higher with sentiment underpinned following NVIDIA's earnings and after the Manhattan-based Court of International Trade blocked President Trump's Liberation Day tariffs.NVIDIA (NVDA) shares rose 4.9% after hours following earnings which beat on top and bottom lines despite incurring a USD 4.5bln charge in Q1; Q2 revenue outlook 45.0bln (exp. 46.4bln).US President Trump ordered US chip designers to stop selling to China, according to FT; US halts exporting aircraft engine technology and chip software to China, according to NYT.FOMC Minutes stated participants agreed they were well positioned to wait for more clarity on the outlook.European equity futures indicate a higher cash market open with Euro Stoxx 50 futures up 1.4% after the cash market closed with losses of 0.7% on Wednesday.Looking ahead, highlights include Spanish Retail Sales, Italian Industrial Sales, US GDP 2nd Estimate (Q1), Core PCE Prices (Q1), Jobless Claims, SARB Policy Announcement, Swiss & Scandinavian Holiday, Speakers including Fed's Barkin, Goolsbee, Kugler & Daly, BoE's Bailey & Breeden, Supply from Italy & US Earnings from Marvell, Costco, Dell, Gap, ULTA, Foot Locker, Best Buy & Kohl's.Read the full report covering Equities, Forex, Fixed Income, Commodites and more on Newsquawk

Stocks boosted after NVIDIA's earnings and after the Manhattan-based Court of International Trade blocked President Trump's Liberation Day tariffs.NVIDIA (NVDA) shares +6% pre-market following earnings which beat on top and bottom lines despite incurring a USD 4.5bln charge in Q1; Q2 revenue outlook 45.0bln (exp. 46.4bln).US President Trump ordered US chip designers to stop selling to China, according to FT; US halts exporting aircraft engine technology and chip software to China, according to NYT.DXY firmer & havens broadly lag given the risk tone; USTs/XAU both in the red.Looking ahead, Highlights include US GDP 2nd Estimate (Q1), Core PCE Prices (Q1), Jobless Claims, SARB Policy Announcement, Swiss & Scandinavian Holiday, Speakers including Fed's Barkin, Goolsbee, Kugler & Daly, BoE's Bailey & Breeden, Supply from the US Earnings from Marvell, Costco, Dell, Gap, ULTA, Foot Locker, Best Buy & Kohl's.Read the full report covering Equities, Forex, Fixed Income, Commodites and more on Newsquawk

Kia ora,Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news the legality of the US tariff taxes is now under court scrutiny.But first, US initial jobless claims rose +10,000 last week from the prior week to 212,000 when seasonal factors suggested it should have fallen -7,000. (The headline number was +240,000.) There are now 1.78 mln people on these benefits, +120,000 more than this time last year or a +7% rise.There was an update to the Q1-2025 US GDP growth rate out overnight, and it was little-changed, still showing a stall. Now they say it contracted at an annualised rate of -0.2% in the quarter, a slight improvement from the initial estimate of a -0.3% decline. However, it is still the first quarterly GDP contraction in three years. The slight improvement was driven by stronger-than-expected investment, which partially offset weaker consumer spending and a larger-than-anticipated drag from trade.The same data showed corporate profits fell sharply in the period and could continue to be squeezed this year by higher costs from tariffs.Pending home sales retreated an outsized -6.3% in April from March, far more than the -0.9% drop anticipated by analysts and fully erasing the revised +5.5% increase in March. The industry blames "high interest rates".The US Treasury 7yr bond auction today was supported a bit better than the prior event, resulting in a median yield of 4.14% compared to the 4.07% at the prior equivalent event a month ago.In a US Federal Court, the Trump Administration lost a key case challenging the imposition of his "Liberation Day" tariffs, where it was claimed the President didn't have the authority to impose them without Congressional approval. The issue will end up in the US Supreme Court soon for 'final' resolution. If it doesn't go Trump's way in his stacked court, things could get 'interesting'.In Japan, consumer sentiment is still trending down after peaking in March 2024. But the May survey recorded a bounce back from the unusual drop in April.In Australia, capex investment is not growing, especially for plant and equipment. And that is a hesitation in the rising trend that started in 2014 and continued until September 2024. The recent Q1-2025 data softness seems to be embedding.Globally, passenger air travel demand was up +8.0% with international travel demand rising almost +11%. In the Asia/Pacific region it was up more than +14%. Wanderlust is back fully after the pandemic period.Air cargo demand was up +5.8% in April, up +10% in the Asia/Pacific region, no doubt boosted by the rush to beat US tariffs.Meanwhile, container freight rates rose +10% last week from the week before to be -41% lower than year-ago levels. Trade uncertainty surrounding 'new' tariff-taxes is causing the current scramble to get goods moved. Bulk cargo rates dipped -2.5% in the past week however.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.43%, and down -5 bps from yesterday.The price of gold will start today at US$3,322/oz, and up +US$26 from yesterday.Oil prices are down -US$1 at just under US$61/bbl in the US and the international Brent price is now at US$64/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at 59.9 USc, a +30 bps rise from yesterday at this time. Against the Aussie we are unchanged at just under 92.8 AUc. Against the euro we are down -20 bps at 52.6 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just under 68 and up +10 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$106,229 and down -1.1% from yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just on +/-1.3%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again on Tuesday.

S&P Futures are trading slightly higher this morning after Wednesday's sell-off, which was triggered by a spike in Treasury yields amid concerns about a significant expansion in U.S. fiscal debt. The House is expected to pass Trump's tax and spending bill this morning; the vote is currently underway. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s “Make America Health Again” report is expected to be released today. Health insurer stocks are under pressure this morning following the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' announcement of expanded audits of Medicare Advantage plans. AT&T has agreed to acquire substantially all of Lumen Technologies' mass markets fiber business for $5.75 billion in cash.  Reports on Jobless Claims and the flash PMI report for May will be released today. On the earning front SNOW, URBN, ZM & AAP are higher after their releases. After the bell today earnings reports from INTU, WDAY, ADSK, CPRT, ROST and DECK are set to report.

Gregory Daco and Peter Tchir break down the employment market after the latest Jobless Claims report. “There is caution” from employers, Gregory argues: companies combing through carefully for candidates and trying to avoid raising inflation pressures by upping wages. Peter thinks weakness will show “in the next couple months.” While he's “a little bit nervous,” he doesn't foresee a recession yet.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

S&P Futures are seeing a strong move higher this morning as President Trump is expected to announce the framework of trade agreement with the U.K. this morning.

S&P Futures are displaying weakness after yesterday's strong rally, the move lower is considered to be as a result of profit taking. While the 90-day tariff pause was a positive catalyst for markets yesterday, there remains a significant amount of uncertainty as to what will occur after the pause period ends. The Trump administrations economic plan remains a key concern for the markets due to the chaotic nature in policy shifts. Then there are the trade relations with China which are fragile at best as the Trump administration increased the Chinese tariffs and appears to be shifting towards an economic decoupling. On the earnings front KMX is trading lower as they missed on earnings expectations. Tomorrow is the start of earnings season with a host of the major backs set to report. On the economic front the March CPI data & the weekly Jobless Claims data is due out before the bell. There is also a significant number of Fed officials speaking today.

Kevin Hincks says this market is "piling up good, hard data point" following a better-than-expected CPI and Jobless Claims report. He looks at the drop in gasoline and energy related prices that have weighed on inflation costs. Kevin then addresses upcoming Fed speakers and why the expectation for rate cuts will likely rise. In terms of the tariff headlines, he says to "buckle up" as we're just getting started.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about
