The CAD is the strongest and the JPY is the weakest as the NA session begins

돈되는 정보

The CAD is the strongest (closely followed by the USD) and the JPY is the weakest as the North American session begins. Stocks are higher and yields are also higher, reversing some of the declines from Friday (last week).

It is the day after the US jobs report which showed a gain of 114K jobs but revisions of -86K from prior months. The Unemployment rate did fall to 4.2% from 4.3% and earnings rose by 0.4%. The USD did rise on Friday, but the dollar index did fall for the week by -0.54%. With stocks moving lower, the AUDUSD fell -1.4% (USD rose 1.4%) and the NZDUSD fell -1.19% (USD rose that amount) as risk-off flows dominated and helped the USD despite yields moving lower.

That helped to send stocks lower with the Nasdaq index falling -2.55% for the day and -5.77% for the week. That was the worst week since January 2022. The other broad index fell -4.25% – it’s worst week since March 2023.

The US 10-year fell -2 basis points for the day, and tumbled.-19.5 basis points for the week. The 2 year yield tumbled -9.6 basis points, and tumbled -27.1 basis points. The 2-10 year spread moved into positive territory (it is currently +5.4 basis points) as the markets adjust to the Fed cutting rates more due to slower growth expectations.

Crude oil fell -$5.88 or -7.99%. That was the worst week since October 2023.

Eamonn is great at posting the weekend expectations and below are the string from today. Goldman sees 25 bps. Blackrock warns that 50 would be a signal of worry. JP Morgan thinks 50bps is the “right thing” and BofA chimed in with an extended series of cuts in the US and Canada.

Recall on Friday, Canada also reported their jobs data with a gain in jobs, but a decline in full time jobs (not a good mixed), and more importantly, the unemployment rate moved up to 6.6% from 6.4%. That was the HIGHEST since May 2017 outside of 2020 and 2021 Covid period.
