Last week, there was a certain degree of discrepancy in the two employment data released by the United States. Thursday, the ADP Non-Farm Employment Change data greatly exceeded expectations.

It marked the largest monthly increase since July 2022 and significantly heightened market anticipation for the non-farm employment report to be released on Friday.

Richard Koo has been one of my favorite macro thinkers. I have always believed that his thoery on balance sheet recession will prove to be extremely relevant for China one day. Yesterday he gave an extraordinary speech on China's Japanification risk. Let's see some takeaways.1. China is likely to enter a painful balance sheet recession that may take many years to recover.2. China should not waste time on monetary policy and structural reforms. Instead, it should concentrate its efforts on fiscal stimulus to keep the economy running.3. What's particularly unveiling is that the Chinese corporate sector has already stopped borrowing since 2016, even before the bubble burst (nonfinancial corporate debt as % of GDP has stopped growing).4. Koo is confused and intrigued by the phenomenon in No.3.

Cpi ⬇️⬇️⬇️📈📈stocks up i except cpi to fall   Hey there, finance enthusiasts! Today, we're diving into the exciting world of the stock market and how the recent decrease in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) can have a positive impact on the market. So, grab your calculators and let's break it down! On Tuesday, the U.S. Labor Department's consumer price index reading is expected to show a slight cooling of inflation in May, although core prices are likely to have remained elevated. This news coincides with the first day of the Federal Reserve's meeting, where traders anticipate the central bank to hold interest rates at the 5%-5.25% range. Additionally, there's a 53% chance of a 25-basis-point increase in rates in July, according to the CME Fedwatch tool. Now, you might be wondering,

At the June FOMC meeting, Fed unsurprisingly paused the rate hikes. However, Fed Chairman Powell stated during the subsequent press conference, “This pause does not imply that the benchmark interest rate has reached its peak.” The dot plot released at the same time indicated that FOMC members anticipate two additional rate hikes totaling 50 bps by the end of this year.Strangely, the market seemed unfazed by such hawkish remarks, and US stocks only experienced a slight decline on that day. Looking at the Fed Fund Futures traded in the market, the expected benchmark interest rate for December not only failed to surpass previous highs but also remained significantly lower than the median of 5.625% indicated in the Fed's dot plot.Source: BloombergSo, is the benchmark interest rate indicated by
