Markets
Friday’s jobs report, which showed American employers added a much-higher-than-expected 224K jobs to the economy last month, has triggered a broad re-pricing in markets around the world. Traders are now looking for a smaller July rate cut of 25 basis points, and perhaps only one more after that for 2019. Shares in Asia fell on the news, with the Shanghai Composite leading a retreat across the region by closing down 2.5%, while U.S. stock futures point to a modestly lower open. Dow and S&P are showing losses of 0.2%, while the Nasdaq is off by 0.4%.
In Asia, Japan -1%. Hong Kong -1.5%. China -2.6%. India -2%.
In Europe, at midday, London -0.1%. Paris -0.3%. Frankfurt -0.3%.
Futures at 6:20, Dow -0.2%. S&P -0.2%. Nasdaq -0.4%. Crude -0.1% to $57.47. Gold +0.5% to $1406.70. Bitcoin +6.3% to $11940.
Ten-year Treasury Yield -1 bps to 2.03%
