3.1 Market Background

On July 3rd, the minutes from the June 12th Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting were released, indicating that Fed officials believed progress in reducing inflation this year had been slower than expected since December. They emphasized that rate cuts would be inappropriate unless they had more confidence that inflation could continue to fall to the Fed’s target.

On July 5th, data released by the U.S. Department of Labor showed that nonfarm payrolls increased by 206,000 in June, exceeding expectations of 190,000 but significantly lower than the previous figure of 272,000. Although the nonfarm payrolls for June exceeded Wall Street expectations, they were still significantly lower than in May, with the unemployment rate unexpectedly rising to its highest level in two and a half years, indicating a substantial cooling of the labor market.

On July 11th, the U.S. Department of Labor released data showing that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by 3% year-over-year in June, slightly below the expected 3.1% and down from 3.3% previously. Month-over-month, the CPI fell by 0.1%, compared to the expected 0.1% increase and the previous value of 0%, marking the first negative reading since May 2020. Core CPI, excluding more volatile food and energy prices, rose by 3.3% year-over-year, below the expected and previous values of 3.4%, the lowest level since April 2021.
