US equities were higher in Wednesday trading, nearing best levels. The ADP report was the latest high-profile data point highlighting the softening labor market following Tuesday's JOLTS report. Elsewhere, the Senate again failed to pass the latest CR attempt to end the government shutdown.

En el episodio de hoy de VG Daily, Andre Dos Santos y Eugenio Garibay analizan a fondo los últimos datos económicos y su impacto en los mercados. La conversación comienza con el reporte JOLTS, repasando las cifras de vacantes, contrataciones y renuncias, y cómo estos datos reflejan un enfriamiento ordenado del mercado laboral.Posteriormente, se adentran en el informe de ADP, marcado por caídas inesperadas en pequeñas y medianas empresas. También destacan la creciente brecha salarial entre quienes permanecen en sus puestos y quienes cambian de empleo, con implicaciones directas para el consumo.Más adelante, los conductores exploran el posible cierre de gobierno en Estados Unidos, analizando qué agencias se verían afectadas, qué datos dejarían de publicarse y cómo suelen reaccionar los mercados ante un shutdown. Finalmente, conectan estos elementos con la visión de mercado.

Mark Hamrick joins Dave to talk about the jobs report and impacts of a government shutdown.

The stock market is testing support as the first real retracement plays out. At the same time, Washington faces another government shutdown deadline while traders brace for a heavy labor market week with JOLTs, ADP, jobless claims, and nonfarm payrolls on deck. Here's the full breakdown.  Market Skyline: SPY pullback, retracement depth, key support levels. Breadth check: Tech strength vs. lagging RSP, IWM, XLV/XLP. Dollar, yields, and labor data — why “good news is bad news.” Government shutdown showdown and historical market reactions. Stock It or Drop It: Oracle, Micron, Alibaba, Nvidia, CarMax, Energy majors.

Mike Armstrong and Paul Lane discuss the release of the JOLTS report that showed job openings slightly exceeded forecasts. How government shutdowns affect the US economy. US economy will only get murkier if key data is delayed in shutdown. Rise of 'accidental landlords' is bad news for investors who bet big on rentals. Exxon to cut 2,000 jobs in global restructuring. Gen X is about to face the biggest Social Security decision.

Ahead of a looming government shutdown, Marley Kayden and Sam Vadas turn to stories that may have slipped under the biggest headline of the day. Included in today's final thoughts: the latest economic data from JOLTS and consumer confidence, paired with big moves in CoreWeave (CRWV) and Nvidia (NVDA).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Kevin Green runs through a slew of data that hit the wire a half-hour after markets opened. He notes a pullback in consumer confidence but points to a "goldilocks" JOLTS report showing a stabilizing jobs picture. However, Kevin says Friday's expected jobs report will be the most important piece to the labor puzzle, which remain in jeopardy due to a looming government shutdown. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Kia ora,Welcome to Monday'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 even the giant American economy can't seem to maintain its momentum, with Trump grabbing at all the levers of government. He is even taking government domain names and inserting is personal interests. It will become increasingly hard to separate real American economic data from that skewed by his army of MAGA blackshirts who have been inserted into these agencies.The week ahead will be busy, with major economic releases that will culminate with the US September non-farm payrolls report and related labour market data. Ordinarily they impact the policy path for the Fed this year. Markets currently expect jobs growth of less than +50,000 and settling in to a low trajectory. Before that we will get the ADP private employment report (expect even less), results from the JOLTS report, and Challenger job cuts (a big jump is expected by analysts).Besides labour updates, investors will also be on alert for the risk of a US government shutdown at the start of the new fiscal year on October 1The September update of the ISM PMI is due (analysts think it will be more contractionary than in August), and we will also get PMI releases from China, Canada, Brazil, South Korea, and ASEAN countries.Regionally, the RBA will be reviewing its monetary policy settings on Tuesday, and now no rate cut is expected due to rising inflation pressures, so markets expect it to stay at 3.6%. India will also be reviewing its monetary policy position late Wednesday, and no change is expected there either, keeping their rate at 5.5%.Daylight savings time has started in New Zealand of course, but not yet in Australia. So we will be 3 hours ahead of eastern Australia. But Queensland, the Northern Territory, and Western Australia do not observe daylight saving time, making it a patchwork system across their country.Over the weekend, China released August industrial profits data. After struggling all year to July to show any improvement on the equivalent month a year ago, August industrial profits rose at a good clip, up by more than +20% on the prior August's lame result. There was faster growth in the private sector while state-owned enterprises recorded a much smaller decline.And we should note that China is about to go on its 2025 national Golden Week holiday which will run from Wednesday, October 1st to Wednesday, October 8th, an extended eight-day holiday that combines National Day with the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is a major time for domestic and international travel, resulting in busy transportation and tourist activity. Businesses largely suspend their operations in this time but key government departments do operate.Over the weekend, Singapore released industrial production data delivering a large negative surprise. This activity was down a massive -7.8% in August from a year ago. The month-on-month data was sharply negative too. It was largely driven by very big drops in the electronics and biomedical sectors and caught analysts very much by surprise.And over the weekend in the world's largest economy, they released personal income and spending data for August which came in pretty much as anticipated. Personal disposable income rose +0.4% in the month and personal consumption expenditure rose +0.6% on the same basis - all from the prior month. But if you think about it, these are actually fast annualised rises, with costs rising much faster than incomes.This same data shows incomes were up +1.9% from a year ago, consumption up 2.7% on that year-ago basis. And as we noted, recent changes are rising faster than these annual shifts. The Fed will have noticed, as PCE inflation is now running well over 3% and its fastest since February. Goods inflation is 4.2% with durable goods up +5.2% in a year in this data. Clearly the tariff-tax effect is not transitory.The updated September University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey for the US was revised slightly lower to be -21% lower than a year ago. Consumers surveyed continue to express frustration over persistently high prices, with 44% spontaneously mentioning to surveyors that high prices are eroding their personal finances. And they say they expect inflation to be +4.7% higher in a year's time - interestingly similar to the current goods inflation data.Markets are going to have to accept that inflation is being structurally embedded at above target levels and that the prospect of more rate cuts is receding if the Fed is to have any credibility with an inflation-fighting mandate. Financial markets have priced in one -25 bps rate cut this year, two by the end of January 2026. Politics may deliver them but it will be at the expense of inflation - which is clearly rising again and quite fast.And the US has also arbitrarily decided to impose new tariffs on pharmaceutical imports, adding to the costs their consumers will have to pay, either via import duties or from new facilities to be built locally. If it goes as Trump plans, the excess capacity internationally (after removing production for the US) will cause international prices to fall as US prices rise. Lose-lose for Americans, win-win for international consumers.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.19%, little-changed from Saturday to be up +5 bps from a week ago.The price of gold will start today at US$3759/oz, down -US$14 from Saturday. That is up +US$78 from a week ago. Silver had another big spurt over the weekend, now up over US$46/oz, a weekly gain of +US$3.American oil prices are down -50 USc at just over US$65/bbl, with the international Brent price now just over US$69.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is at just under 57.7 USc and down -10 bps from Saturday, and down -80 bps from a week ago. Against the Aussie we are unchanged at 88.2 AUc but down -60 bps for the week. Against the euro we are down -10 bps at 49.3 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 65.2, similar to Saturday at this time.The bitcoin price starts today at US$110,271 and up +0.6% from Saturday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been very low at under +/- 0.5%.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 tomorrow.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports on a 4.3 magnitude earthquake in California.

Is the labor market finally cracking, and what does that mean for the housing market? Dave Meyer distills the latest BLS and ADP payrolls, JOLTS, and unemployment data, from August's 22,000 nonfarm payroll gain and a 4.3% jobless rate to a 900,000 downward revision and a spike in initial claims, to show a clear cooling trend. He explains why a softer labor market raises the odds of Fed cuts yet inflation keeps pressure on interest rates, so mortgage rates may ease only modestly, boosting transaction volume more than home prices or housing prices. You will hear practical plays for real estate investors, including watching local job numbers, prioritizing tenant retention and collections, and considering refinances if you hold 7 to 8 percent loans, plus how markets like Las Vegas and San Francisco may diverge. Dave's housing market prediction and forecast: a soft but functioning market with cautious upside, where housing prices stabilize and conservative underwriting wins until clearer trends emerge.

Nasdaq's Crypto Push and a Labor Market ShockerDescription: This week, we're analyzing a market that's showing a clear divergence. Bitcoin is seeing strong inflows of over $620 million, while Ethereum is experiencing significant outflows of $880 million. Price action reflects this, with Bitcoin holding a tight range, Ethereum trading flat, and Solana outperforming with a 9% gain. We'll look at what healthy perp funding rates tell us about market sentiment.The dominant theme is the shifting macro landscape. We received a major reality check on the U.S. labor market with large downward revisions to annual payroll data.

We'll also touch on the latest OPEC+ announcements.This comes as traditional finance makes huge moves into the space. Nasdaq is investing $50 million in the Gemini crypto exchange and has also filed with the SEC to trade tokenized securities alongside traditional stocks. We'll also cover Ant Digital's plan to tokenize $8 billion in assets and the latest onchain news from MegaETH and Ethena.Topics Covered:Market Update:Diverging ETF Flows: BTC inflows ($620m) vs. ETH outflows (-$880m).Price Action: BTC range-bound, ETH flat, and SOL outperforming (+9%).Market Sentiment: Healthy perp funding rates and a rising COIN50 index.Macro Deep Dive:Labor Market Shocker: The 911k downward revision to benchmark payrolls.Fed Outlook: Increased odds of a rate cut ahead of the FOMC meeting.Key Data: What to expect from Thursday's CPI report.Fiscal & Geopolitics:  OPEC+ news.Regulatory & Adoption Breakthroughs:Nasdaq invests $50 million in Gemini.Nasdaq seeks SEC approval to trade tokenized securities.Ant Digital plans to tokenize $8 billion in assets.Onchain & Ecosystem News:MegaETH launches a native stablecoin with Ethena to subsidize fees.Coinbase News & Product Launches:Coming September 22: Mag7 + Crypto Equity Index FuturesCB ResearchCoinbase ResearchSpeakers:Ben Floyd, Head of Execution ServicesDavid Duong, Global Head of ResearchColin Basco, Institutional Research

The jobs market is starting to show signs of being in real trouble.August payrolls were a huge disappointment, coming in at a VERY weak 22k (vs expectations of 75k).And the June payrolls number was revised downwards to a LOSS of -13k jobs,. On top of that, this week's JOLTS data revealed that there are now *fewer* jobs openings than applicants, something we haven't seen since the early days of COVID.As the unemployment rate now rises to 4.3%, should we expect it to begin rising more aggressively from here as the economy continues to slow?Are we seeing the early warning signs that a recession lies ahead?Portfolio manager Lance Roberts and I discuss the odds, as well as the latest technical analysis for stocks, the ongoing breakout in gold & silver, the attractiveness of the oversold energy sector, prudent risk management best practices, and Lance's firm's latest trades.For everything that mattered to markets this week, watch this latest Market Recap.LOCK IN THE EARLY BIRD PRICE DISCOUNT FOR THE THOUGHTFUL MONEY FALL CONFERENCE AT https://thoughtfulmoney.com/conference#labormarket #unemployment #recession _____________________________________________ Thoughtful Money LLC is a Registered Investment Advisor Promoter.We produce educational content geared for the individual investor.

Kevin Hincks dives into the August non-farm payrolls report which came in below estimates and revealed only 22k added jobs last month. Kevin says this now turns the focus to interest rates after it continues a trend of weak employment data this week including JOLTS and Jobless Claims. He adds the revisions to June and July painted slightly different pictures, but says what's weak for the U.S. economy isn't necessarily bad for the stock market. Kevin says inflation data and the Fed's September meeting will be "crucial" indicators for a "locked in" 25bps rate cut.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

En el episodio de hoy de VG Daily, Eugenio Garibay y Andre Dos Santos analizan a fondo el dato de empleo de ADP, que mostró una creación de empleos por debajo de las expectativas y confirmando la tendencia de enfriamiento del mercado laboral. La discusión conecta este reporte con las cifras de JOLTS publicadas ayer, así como otros datos de la economía real con comentarios del director ejecutivo de McDonald's y Salesforce.El episodio también incorpora el informe de Challenger, Gray & Christmas, que reveló un aumento en recortes de empleo del 39% respecto a julio y el peor agosto desde 2008. Finalmente, concluyen el episodio conversando del bono del tesoro de 10 años que se ha movido recientemente por datos económicos, así como arancelarios, y explicando que significa todo esto para la FED.

Global yields spiking overnight as investors work through fresh JOLTS data and tariff developments: Carl Quintanilla and Sara Eisen broke down the latest moves alongside fresh Fed commentary and economic data top of the hour. Counselor to the Treasury Secretary, Joe Lavorgna joined the team to discuss it all – arguing the economy remains strong here – in addition to Jefferies Chief Market Strategist, and potential Fed contender David Zervos later on. Also in focus: what to do with Google shares after their big antitrust trial win… Why Evercore calls this a “clearing event” for the stock – and says you should buy the stock here.  Plus: hear Pfizer's official response to recent claims around their COVID vaccines… And a recap of August auto sales numbers – along with more on what could come next. 

S&P Futures are showing strong gains this morning due to positive action in technology stocks. After the bell yesterday the judge in the GOOG antitrust case released his remedy opinion and said that Google will not be required to divest its Chrome browser or Android operating system. Additionally, the ruling permits Google to continue making payments to Apple, enabling Google to remain the default search engine on iOS devices. President Trump is appealing Friday's tariff ruling to the Supreme Court and requesting an expedited ruling. Later today he is expected to meet with the President of Poland. Treasury Sec Bessent will start to interview candidates for the role as Fed Chair on Friday. The yield curve is showing signs of steepening with the 10-year Treasury note yield hovering around 4.28% to 4.30%. This follows a modest increase of about 0.03 percentage points from the previous session, marking the third consecutive day of rising yields.  On the economic from today markets will be paying attention to this morning's JOLTs report and the Fed's Beige Book in the afternoon. HQY & ZS are higher after earnings beats. After the bell today CRM, FIG, HPE, GTLB and AI are schedule to release.

Noah Yosif from the American Staffing Association reacts to the JOLTS report and gauges the health of the labor market. He discusses sectors that “buck the trend,” including in the government and in areas that have “severe shortages” like healthcare, where wages are pressured higher. “A rate cut is definitely penciled in,” Noah says, and thinks the JOLTS report only boosts that sentiment. “The longer that this [hiring] freeze lasts,” he adds, the more conditions will likely deteriorate for job seekers as more corporations add AI and cut positions in other ways.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Dan Deming covers the commodities market. He argues that central banks now own more gold than U.S. treasuries for the first time in 30 years, both because of the threat of lower rates and U.S. debt levels. It hit another record high today, and he thinks momentum is still to the upside. The U.S. dollar weakened after the JOLTS report, and Dan thinks that it is “coiling” in a range. He thinks crude oil will continue to fall into the upper 50's.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

When it comes to today's trading action, Charles Schwab's Kathy Jones attributes part of the "choppy" day to a rise in layoffs seen in the JOLTS report. Additionally, she talks about how the Beige Book shook the bond market as investors saw potential for "stagnant or slower growth." Joe Mazzola adds how the price action is pulling investors back toward the Mag 7. He discusses sector performance in markets and how slowing economic data attributes to the rotation.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Bitcoin has reclaimed $111K, but analysts warn the market structure remains fragile after last week's whale-driven sell-off. Key levels between $105K and $118K could dictate the next big move as volatility stays elevated.This week's U.S. economic calendar is stacked: ISM Manufacturing on Tuesday, JOLTS job openings Wednesday, a wave of ADP payrolls, jobless claims, and ISM Services on Thursday, and the all-important Nonfarm Payrolls Friday. Each release will shape Fed policy expectations and could spark major moves in risk assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has teased a “major announcement,” fueling speculation that could ripple through political and financial markets. Traders are watching closely, given Trump's history of market-moving statements and his administration's growing alignment with pro-crypto policies.

US equity futures are slightly weaker. Asia ended mixed, and European markets are softer. Focus is on upcoming US data with ISM, JOLTS, ADP, and nonfarm payrolls due this week following July PCE inflation in line with expectations; Fed Governor Waller reiterated support for a September 25 bp cut and signaled more easing over the next three to six months; Trump repeated claims India offered to cut tariffs to “nothing,” though no details of resumed talks; SCO summit in China reinforced anti-US optics with Modi appearing alongside Xi and Putin; In Europe, political risks rose as French PM Bayrou faced pressure and far-right National Rally positioned for new elections.Companies mentioned: Alibaba Group, Chevron

The shortened week is long on data with today's ISM Manufacturing report, tomorrow's JOLTS, and Friday's nonfarm payrolls. Salesforce and Broadcom results are also ahead.Important DisclosuresThis material is intended for general informational purposes only.

In this episode, labor market economist Guy Berger breaks down how jobs data is collected, why revisions happen, and how to interpret them in context. He explains the roles of NFP, claims, and JOLTS data, the impact of immigration shifts on labor supply, and how business surveys can signal future hiring trends. Berger also digs into why the current conditions show stability with potential for both cooling and tightening ahead.

Should you be concerned by the jobs report? The July jobs report showed nonfarm payrolls grew by 73k, which missed the estimate of 100k. Unfortunately, the news got even worse as you dug into the report. The prior two months saw major negative revisions as June was revised from 147k to just 14k and May was revised from 125k to just 19k. This amounted to a total negative revision of 258k when looking at the two months combined. Another negative was job growth in the month of July was heavily reliant on health care & social assistance as the category added 73.3k jobs in the month. This means that this category essentially carried the report as the total jobs created in the month topped the full headline number. There were some other areas that saw growth with retail trade adding 15,700 jobs, leisure and hospitality adding 5k jobs, and construction adding 2k jobs. Unfortunately, there were more categories than normal that saw declines with information falling by 2k jobs, government was down 10k jobs, manufacturing declined by 11k jobs, and professional and business services declined by 14k jobs. While all this sounds negative, I still wouldn't panic over this report. The main reason is the unemployment rate remains historically low at 4.2% and layoffs have not materially increased. I would even make the claim that the unemployment rate is healthier than it appears. Of those that are unemployed, the average weeks unemployed now totals 24.1 and those that have been unemployed for more than 27 weeks jumped to 1.82 million, which is about one-quarter of all the unemployed. If you have been out of work more than 27 weeks, how hard have you really been looking or are some of those really just retired now? It seems we are in an environment where companies are keeping their employees and limiting new hires. With more clarity on the trade deals and tariffs now, that could help stabilize the labor market, but my main concern is are there enough qualified candidates to truly fuel job growth? A large problem we have discussed in the past is an aging population that has seen assets climb tremendously, which has enabled many near retirement age the luxury to retire. While I don't want to say this is a negative, the working age population or those between 25 & 54 remained near historical highs around 83%. One positive in the report I didn't discuss yet was the fact that wage inflation came in above expectations at 3.9%, which is nice considering the decline in inflation we have seen this year. While again I may sound negative on this report, I want to be clear that there is no reason to be overly concerned yet, I would be interested to see how the next few reports look before being worried about a potential recession in the near term.   Job openings declined in the month of June The June Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey, commonly referred to as the JOLTs report, showed job openings declined to 7.4 million, down 275,000 from the prior month. While this may sound problematic, it is important to remember this is still a historically healthy level for job openings and it comes against a back drop of a historically low unemployment rate. I have said this for many months, but I believe there is even further room for job openings to decline without there being a problem for the labor market. Taking that concept one step further, I would be quite surprised to see growth in job openings from here. The main reason for that is there just aren't enough people to fill those openings especially since it appears many companies are choosing to retain employees rather than look for new ones. I say this because layoffs continue to remain quite low. In the month of June, they totaled 1.6 million and really since 2021 they have maintained that level with the average monthly total since January 2021 standing around 1.57 million. If we look pre-covid, from December 2000 (when the data first started) to February 2020, layoffs averaged 1.91 million per month. Even though you will always hear news about various companies implementing layoffs, I believe we remain in a healthy labor market with good unemployment and low layoffs. This healthy labor market remains one of the key reasons for why I believe the economy will remain in a good spot for the foreseeable future.   GDP came in stronger expected, another good sign for the economy! While Q2 gross domestic product, also known as GDP, jumped 3% and easily topped the estimate of 2.3%, the numbers were not as strong as the headlines indicate. With the tariffs having a large impact on trade and business inventories, this report is the opposite of Q1 when actual results were much better than the headlines showed. In Q1 companies were likely trying to get ahead of tariffs so they were trying to load up on inventory and import a lot more foreign goods than normal. This led to a 37.9% increase in imports during Q1 which subtracted 4.66% from the headline GDP number. In Q2 we saw a complete reversal as imports fell 30.3% and added 5.18% to the headline GDP number. The change in private inventories was also extremely volatile during these last two periods considering it added 2.59% to the headline number in Q1, but subtracted 3.17% from the headline number in Q2 as many businesses were likely working through excess inventory. I bring all this up not to say that the GDP report was bad and in fact it was still a good number, but rather to show the messiness in the numbers for the first two quarters. We should not see the type of volatility that we have seen in trade going forward as it normally has a small impact on the overall report. The main reason I see Q2 GDP as a good report is because the consumer, which is the main driver in the long-term, held up well. There was a small 1.1% increase in services spending and goods saw an increase of 2.2%. Considering we are primarily a service driven economy; I do worry the goods spending could have been further pull forward in demand as consumers try to get ahead of price increases from tariffs. This could have a negative impact on consumer spending going forward as they may not need to purchase as many goods. With many areas of the report normalizing as we exit the year, I'm still looking for GDP growth that would likely be in the 1-2% range.   Should Banks be responsible when their customers get scammed? It's a sad thing to see someone in their 60s or 70s get scammed out of their life savings. Unfortunately, there are many online scams now and it appears they just keep growing. According to the FBI, in 2024 online scams totaled $16 billion, which was a 33% increase from 2023. A big question that people have been asking is should banks be the ones that are held responsible when it comes to preventing their customers from making poor investment decisions or losing money in online romance scams? Banks are already trying to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing and other types of fraud that is costly for the banks to maintain. Adding another oversight would be another expense for the banks, which could lead to costs elsewhere in the banking system to make up for those added expenses. From the consumer standpoint this could also lead to frustration when trying to get money for legitimate purposes as it could lead to longer review periods for certain transactions or if your account were to get flagged who knows how long it would take to get that resolved. As an example, let's say a teller sees the same person coming in taking out large sums of money on a regular basis, should the teller stop the activity? Again, if it was for legitimate purposes, wouldn't that be frustrating? What something like this would likely mean for banks is they would have to set up departments to review the situations of potential scams and take many hours to discuss with bank employees, the customer and maybe even family members why the withdrawals are taking place. No surprise here, but attorneys in some states have begun going after the banks saying it is their obligation to protect their clients' assets. There are laws that were passed in the 70s that requires banks to report suspicious money laundering activity and even required banks to screen for fraudulent activities and reimburse customers for stolen funds. However, it's limited to criminal impersonations of a customer to get unauthorized access to their accounts. This is different than many of the scams we are seeing today where the customers themselves are taking the money from their own account and sending it to the scammer. In my opinion, the best thing to do is educate people about these scams and if you have parents, be sure to have conversations with them about them before they happen.   Financial Planning: The Secondary Benefits of Roth Accounts While the primary advantage of Roth accounts lies in their tax-free growth and withdrawals in retirement avoiding potentially higher tax rates, there are several powerful secondary benefits worth considering. First, Roth IRAs are not subject to Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), which means retirees can keep their money growing tax-free for life. In contrast, traditional pre-tax retirement accounts force RMDs beginning at age 75, whether the funds are needed or not. These mandatory withdrawals must be taken as taxable income and cannot be reinvested into another tax-advantaged retirement account. The most similar alternative is a regular taxable brokerage account, where earnings such as interest, dividends, and capital gains are subject to annual taxation—ultimately reducing the net return over time. By avoiding RMDs, Roth accounts allow retirees to maintain greater control over their tax situation and preserve more wealth in a truly tax-advantaged environment. Second, Roth accounts are far more advantageous for heirs. While both Roth and pre-tax retirement accounts are now subject to the 10-year rule—requiring inherited accounts to be fully distributed within 10 years of the original owner's death—the tax treatment is vastly different. Pre-tax inherited accounts are fully taxable to beneficiaries, which can push heirs into higher tax brackets as they're forced to withdraw large sums over a relatively short period. In contrast, inherited Roth accounts allow for the same 10 years of tax-free growth, but the entire balance can be withdrawn tax-free at the end, providing greater flexibility and preserving more value. Third, for individuals whose estates exceed the federal estate tax threshold, Roth accounts offer superior after-tax value. Both Roth and pre-tax accounts are included in the taxable estate, but Roth funds retain their full value since they are not subject to income tax when withdrawn. These features make Roth accounts not just a retirement planning tool, but also a strategic asset for legacy and tax-efficient estate planning.   Companies Discussed: Hasbro, Inc.

Mike Armstrong and Marc Fandetti break down the numbers in the latest JOLTS report. A divided Fed eyes future rate cuts but not likely this week. Companies are starting to complain about consumer stress levels. Trump is winning his trade war.

Ahead of June JOLTS data, Noah Yosif from the American Staffing Association says the labor market is "bouncing around a bottom" with employers waiting for improvement to begin rehiring. He points to the passage of "One Big Beautiful Bill" and trade deal agreements as possible catalysts for further labor market growth. Noah adds his thoughts on parts of the labor market experiencing shortages and what to look for in Friday's July jobs report.======== 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
