ECB's Villeroy sees room for additional rate cut by summer
PARIS, May 13 (Reuters) - There is room for another rate cut by the European Central Bank by the summer, ECB policymaker Francois Villeroy de Galhau said in a French newspaper group interview on Tuesday.
Villeroy - who is also head of the Bank of France - said the United States would likely see an uptick in inflation from President Donald Trump's tariffs, but Europe should be spared.
"We also don't see inflation picking up. The Trump administration's protectionism will lead to a restart of inflation in the United States, but not in Europe, which will likely allow for another rate cut by the summer," he told the EBRA newspaper group.
The next ECB monetary policy meeting is due to conclude on June 5.

Tesla seeks to block city of Austin from releasing records on robotaxi trial
June 6 (Reuters) - Tesla is trying to prevent the city of Austin, Texas, from releasing public records to Reuters involving the EV maker's planned launch of self-driving robotaxis in the city this month. The news agency in February requested communications between Tesla and Austin officials over the previous two years. The request followed CEO Elon Musk's announcement in January that Tesla would launch fare-collecting robotaxis on Austin public streets. Austin public-information officer Dan Davis told Reuters on April 1 that 'third parties' had asked the city to withhold the records to protect their 'privacy or property interests.' Austin officials on April 7 requested an opinion on the news agency's request from the Texas Attorney General's office, which handles public-records disputes. On April 16, an attorney for Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab wrote the AG objecting to the release of 'confidential, proprietary, competitively sensitive commercial, and/or trade secret information' contained in emails between Tesla and Austin officials. The Tesla attorney wrote that providing the documents to Reuters would reveal 'Tesla's deployment procedure, process, status and strategy' and 'irreparably harm Tesla.' Tesla and the Texas Attorney General's office did not respond to Reuters' requests for comment. Neal Falgoust, who oversees public records issues for Austin's Law Department, said the city "takes no position on the confidential nature of the information at issue" but is required to seek the Attorney General's opinion when "a third-party asserts that their information is proprietary and should not be released." Musk has staked Tesla's future on self-driving vehicles he has promised for a decade but hasn't delivered, making Austin's robotaxi launch closely watched as a potential milestone. Some analysts and investors attribute the majority of Tesla's stock market value to hopes for robotaxis and humanoid robots it has yet to deliver. Little is known about Tesla's plans in Austin. The company has said it aims to initially deploy between 10 and 20 driverless robotaxis in restricted geographic areas of Austin, which it has not publicly identified. In an April 23 response to Tesla's letter, a Reuters lawyer wrote that Tesla's intent to deploy the unproven technology on Texas roadways makes its plans 'an issue of enormous importance to Texas and the public at large' and underscored the public's right to know. Falgoust, the Austin law department official, did not respond to questions about whether the public was entitled to information about Tesla's driverless technology. Texas state law requires the Attorney General's office to decide within 45 business days, which would be next week.

Instant view: US payrolls growth slows in May, unemployment rate steady
NEW YORK, June 5 (Reuters) - U.S. job growth slowed in May, while the unemployment rate held steady, potentially giving the Federal Reserve a buffer to delay the resumption of interest rate cuts. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 139,000 jobs last month after rising by a downwardly revised 147,000 in April, the Labor Department said on Friday. Economists polled by Reuters had forecast 130,000 jobs added last month after a previously reported 177,000 advance in April. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.2% and matched expectations. MARKET REACTION: STOCKS: S&P 500 E-minis added to gains and were up 51 points, or 0.86% BONDS: The yield on benchmark U.S. 10-year notes rose 7.3 basis points to 4.468%, the two-year note yield climbed 7.3 basis points to 3.997% FOREX: The dollar index extended gains a loss and was up 0.47% to 99.14, while the euro was down 0.39% at $1.1399 COMMENTS: "The report itself is a positive report overall, in line with expectations, with the employment number a little bit stronger than expected. It shows the labor market is still intact." "There's one blemish there that stands out. The household-based employment number that's used in the calculation of the unemployment rate was down sharply. There was a big increase in both the household-based employment number and in the supply of Labor in April. We just reversed both by a large amount in such a way that the unemployment rate remains steady. We were afraid it would be going higher and the fact that it held steady is an encouraging sign." "The market is taking the jobs report as a sign the economy is still holding up well. It's not that we're powering ahead. Its moderate growth but there's little sign we're losing momentum from the jobs report mid-way through the second quarter." 'If you look at the trend, it looks like job growth actually bottomed mid/late next year, so the trend looks to be higher. As interesting as today's numbers were, the more interesting data were yesterday's – the unit labor costs and productivity. Productivity was lower and labor costs higher. That ultimately translates into higher inflation. "As long as job growth holds up, the employment data is positive. The other piece of this, in my mind, if you already have had more job openings than candidates, does it make sense to post another job? We cannot find qualified people, I keep hearing. The bottom line, is that the Fed is likely to stay on hold.' ART HOGAN, CHIEF MARKET STRATEGIST AT B RILEY WEALTH "Things are slowing, but they're not collapsing and that's the good news. We're not seeing a serious degradation of the jobs market." 'The sell-off (in Treasuries) really reflects this idea that growth sentiment is heading in a bullish direction. We have yet another month of hard data resilience. There is positive progress on tariffs moderating, even if there's nothing final yet. And a lot of the doomsday scenarios people thought were always one month away - it just seems to be a less likelihood that it's coming. "There's relief, or bearish for bonds, that there are no signs of significant deterioration that people were expecting.' BRIAN JACOBSEN, CHIEF ECONOMIST, ANNEX WEALTH MANAGEMENT, MENOMONEE FALLS, WISCONSIN "The rise in payrolls was better than expected, but the previous months were revised significantly lower, taking some sheen off this report. The diffusion index for manufacturing was abysmally low, showing that payroll gains are concentrated while losses are widespread. On its face, this shows an economy that's holding up under the weight of a trade war, but the details show plenty of cracks forming." 'Payrolls came in a little higher than consensus and more than I was looking for, but basically with the exception of hourly wages, the report really doesn't indicate that the Fed would be ready to do anything to help out the labor market. 'In fact, the rise in hourly wages by 0.4% - I don't want to say significant, but it's noticeable. And so that you know just means that the Fed stays on hold and the labor market, although there are definitely signs that it's cooling and obviously that's attributed to the trade war because many people are not hiring due to the uncertainties. 'Bottom line, it's a report that's not going to move the markets very much and I would, I would classify this as a mediocre report.' JAMIE COX MANAGING PARTNER, HARRIS FINANCIAL GROUP, RICHMOND VIRGINIA "The labor market is strong, but cooling. I expect this report, with all its revisions to bring the Fed back into cutting mode in July. Wages are stable, for now, but that is likely to change in the coming months. "One of the biggest factors with labor is housing - the housing market is showing early signs of trouble, and a cooling labor market will make that worse."

ECB policymakers debate risk of inflation going too low
FRANKFURT, June 6 (Reuters) - European Central Bank policymakers hailed victory over runaway inflation on Friday even as some warned that it was now at risk of going too low, rekindling memories of anaemic price growth in the pre-pandemic decade. The ECB cut interest rates on Thursday for the eighth time in the past year and signalled at least a pause in policy easing next month since inflation was now safely back at its 2% target after three years of overshooting. Part of the argument for the pause is that economic growth is better than feared, a premise underpinned by fresh data showing the euro zone economy grew by 0.6% in the first quarter, above the 0.3% estimated earlier, and retail sales were also robust. However, the strong growth figure is an anomaly, many economists say. It was driven by frontloaded exports to the United States before tariffs kicked in and data was especially distorted by Ireland, where growth is fuelled largely by activity among big foreign companies based there for tax reasons. Portuguese policymaker Mario Centeno, who has long warned about the risk of price growth going too low, said his colleagues should be alert inflation dipping too far below 2%. "The inflation rate (in the euro zone) is currently below 2% and this downward trend will worsen until the beginning of next year, when it will approach the dangerous level of 1%, or slightly above that," he said in Lisbon. "This is a scenario that should alert us," he said. Finland's Olli Rehn said there was a particular risk from the escalation of the trade war with the U.S. and the outlook was so complex, the ECB's adverse scenario could not take into account all outcomes. "For example, serious disruptions to supply chains and disruptions in financial markets have been excluded from the analysis," Rehn said in a blog post. Part of the reason inflation could go lower is that Germany, the bloc's biggest economy, will stagnate this year, marking the third year of zero or negative growth as its long-predicted recovery keeps getting pushed further and further out. While Germany's new government plans to sharply increase fiscal spending on defence and infrastructure, this will not significantly boost growth until the end of 2027, the Bundesbank said as it cut growth projections for this year and next. "Concerns about a persistent undershoot may soon resurface, especially if trade tensions escalate, weighing on demand," Oxford Economics said in a note. Others took a more benign view that was more in line with the ECB's view that inflation will rebound and hit the bank's 2% target. "The ECB's 2% inflation target has essentially been achieved," Estonian policymaker Madis Müller said. "The expected economic growth in the next couple of years is also likely to be quite moderate, which means that there is no reason to worry too much about price pressure related to the heating up of the economic environment." Latvia's Martins Kazaks said he was also comfortable with the outlook and made the case for the ECB to take a break in cutting rates, partly to preserve policy space and to await fresh data. "I don't think the market should expect the trajectory of cutting rates at every meeting to continue," he told Reuters. "There is no need and there is value in maintaining policy space."
