Picture of screenshot of an X post by economist Heather Long. Post contains text on top and a picture of a bar chart below. Text reads: The labor market is going from frozen to cracking. Look at how many industries have LOST jobs in the past 3 months. Mining -13,000 Construction -10,000 Manufacturing -31,000 Information -15,000 Business/Professional -51,000 Federal gov't -34,000 Finance 0 job gains The US job market is almost entirely dependent on healthcare. That's not healthy for the economy."

Bar chart shows employment change numbers by job industry as of Aug 2025. Many industries show in the negative, meaning those industries lost those jobs. Post shows as having been made on X on Sept. 5, 2025, at 8:43am, per the time stamp in the screenshot.

Concerns on Fed independence mark a structural bearish factor for the US dollar - Nomura Nomura highlights that concerns are starting to grow on the Fed's independence and if that continues, would represent a structural bearish factor against the dollar. As things stand, the greenback is already facing headwinds from the Fed poised to ease monetary policy, softer US growth momentum, and policy divergences with the likes of Europe and Japan. As such, Nomura argues that the shift in dynamics at the central bank would compound the bearish elements for the dollar. If Cook is removed from her post and Miran replaces Kugler, Trump would eventually make 5 appointments of the 7 Fed governors should Powell also leave in May next year. That will see heavy political influence exert its presence on the central bank with the Fed's independence at stake. Nomura says that it could translate to higher long-end yields, weaker equities, and a weaker dollar as credibility on dealing with inflation is dealt a blow. As a reminder, that is one of the Fed's dual mandates. The firm notes that this continued development will see markets price in a greater risk premium against the dollar, adding to the broader downtrend that is already underway for the currency.

What are the main events for today? In the European session, we don't have anything on the agenda, so we can expect the usual choppy price action although some US dollar strength into Powell's speech looks likely. In the American session, we get the Canadian CPI. The most important measure, the Trimmed-Mean CPI YoY is expected at 3.1% vs 3.0% prior. That would be above the Bank of Canada's 1-3% target band and certainly much higher than the 2% mid-point. The market is pricing a 31% chance of a rate cut at the upcoming meeting, which looks totally misplaced based on the economic data. Overall, the market sees at least one last 25 bps rate cut by October 2026. We have also Fed's Bowman speaking today but given that she's a known dove and that the topic of the discussion is about "fostering new technology in the banking system", she's unlikely to offer anything new or market-moving.

Euro zone industry shrinks more than feared in June but GDP holds up FRANKFURT (Reuters) -Euro zone industrial output dipped more than expected in June even as overall economic growth held up in the second quarter, challenging views that the 20 nation currency union remains resilient to the fallout from a global trade war. Industrial output fell 1.3% on the month in June, driven by a big dip in Germany and weak consumer goods production, underperforming expectations for a 1.0% fall, data from Eurostat showed on Thursday. Adding to the negative surprise, Eurostat also revised its output growth estimate for May to 1.1% from 1.7%, suggesting that the underlying trend is weaker than thought. Meanwhile GDP grew by 0.1% on the quarter, in line with a preliminary estimate, and employment rose just 0.1% on the quarter, in line with expectations in a Reuters poll, but below the 0.2% in the previous three months. A recent string of relatively upbeat indicators from purchasing managers (PMI) data to the European Commission’s sentiment reading have fuelled a narrative that consumption is keeping the bloc resilient to trade tensions, but more recent numbers, like industrial orders and a key sentiment reading from Germany, have challenged this view. Still, investors continue to bet on a modest upturn on the premise that a recent EU trade deal with the U.S. provides much needed certainty and Germany’s plans to sharply boost budget spending will support growth. This is why financial investors think the ECB may be done cutting interest rates and policymakers will sit out a temporary dip in inflation below the 2% target, as price pressures over the medium term are already building up. Growth is unlikely to take off, however, and the euro zone is facing modest expansion of only around 1% a year in the coming years, trailing other major economies, given structural inefficiencies. Compared to a year earlier, second quarter economic growth was 1.4%, a figure that is boosted by a one-off demand surge before U.S. tariffs took effect. This figure is now seen slowing steadily before picking up in 2026. The monthly industrial fall was driven by a 2.3% drop in Germany and an 11.3% fall in Ireland, a figure that is unlikely to concern many, since Irish data is exceptionally volatile due to activity among big multinational companies, mostly in pharmaceuticals, based there for tax purposes. Industry figures showed that besides energy production, every sector took a dip last month, led by a 4.7% fall in non-durable consumer goods and a 2.2% fall in capital goods production.

Inflation data to test stocks as some investors brace for rally to pause By Lewis Krauskopf NEW YORK (Reuters) -A fresh look at inflation trends will test the U.S. stock market’s rally in the coming week, with some investors saying equities are primed for a potential pullback after rocketing to records. The benchmark S&P 500 was last up more than 7% on the year and within about 1% of its all-time closing high set in late July, as stocks largely rebounded from declines following a weak employment report earlier this month. Strategists at firms including Deutsche Bank and Morgan Stanley have recently said the market could be poised for some level of pullback after a largely unabated climb over the past four months, which has pushed valuations to historically expensive levels as a seasonally treacherous period for stocks begins. The monthly U.S. consumer price index report, due on Tuesday, could cause volatility. Data showing higher-than-expected inflation could undermine the growing expectation for impending interest rate cuts. "I do think the market is set up for a bit of a pullback," said Dominic Pappalardo, chief multi-asset strategist at Morningstar Wealth. "There’s a lot of concern bubbling underneath." The S&P 500 has soared well over 20% since its low for the year in April, as investor fears about a tariff-induced recession calmed after President Donald Trump’s "Liberation Day" announcement earlier that month had set off extreme asset volatility. The index is trading at 22.4 times its earnings estimates for the next year, well above its long-term average P/E ratio of 15.8 after recently reaching its highest valuation in over four years, according to LSEG Datastream. Investors are also wary of risks posed by the calendar. Over the past 35 years, August and September have ranked as the worst-performing months for the S&P 500, according to the Stock Trader’s Almanac. The index has declined an average of 0.6% in August and 0.8% in September -- the only months of negative average performance for the index during that time period. "The combination of a softer payroll number with concerns of tariff-related inflation could be the recipe for ... a correction, especially in the seasonally weak third quarter," Morgan Stanley equity strategist Michael Wilson said in a note this week. Still, Wilson said his 12-month outlook was bullish, adding "we’re buyers of pullbacks." The CPI for July is expected to have climbed 2.8% on an annual basis, according to a Reuters poll of economists. Investors will be watching to see if Trump’s tariffs on imports are translating into higher prices after the June CPI report suggested levies were impacting the prices of some goods. Market bets on Fed rate cuts rose following the recent weak jobs data as investors expect the central bank will ease monetary policy to help shore up the labor market. Fed funds futures indicate an over 90% chance the Fed will cut at its next meeting in September, with at least two cuts priced in for this year, LSEG data showed. That narrative could be at risk if CPI rises more than expected, making the Fed more hesitant to cut rates, investors said. "If the CPI suggests that the market got a little ahead of itself, that can create volatility," said Angelo Kourkafas, senior investment strategist at Edward Jones. "But if it’s not worse than feared ... that can further reinforce that we are now in an inflection point for the Fed." The prospect of higher tariffs and the economic fallout from those levies already instituted by the Trump administration has been a persistent theme clouding markets, but stocks have managed to rise to records despite the uncertainty. Higher tariffs on imports from dozens of countries took effect on Thursday, raising the average U.S. import duty to its highest in a century, while the president also this week announced plans for levies on semiconductor chips and pharmaceutical imports. China could face a potential tariff increase on Tuesday unless Trump approves an extension of a prior truce. The impact of higher tariffs on the economy could take a while to show up, and "the market has kind of ignored the potential negative impact of this friction to the economy," said Matt Rowe, senior portfolio manager at Man Group (LON:EMG). "The market has gotten comfortable with tariffs being kind of a non-event, which I don’t think is correct," Rowe said. With valuations skyrocketing in 2024, many investors are uneasy putting more money into stocks. Sure, there are always opportunities in the stock market – but finding them feels more difficult now than a year ago. Unsure where to invest next? One of the best ways to discover new high-potential opportunities is to look at the top performing portfolios this year. ProPicks AI offers 6 model portfolios from Investing.com which identify the best stocks for investors to buy right now. For example, ProPicks AI found 9 overlooked stocks that jumped over 25% this year alone. The new stocks that made the monthly cut could yield enormous returns in the coming years. Is EMG one of them?
