Dismissal of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Chief: Reckless Exercise of Power Threatens to Undermine Reliability
The dismissal of a senior government official threatens the reliability of U.S. economic data and the country's statistical system. U.S. President Donald Trump should refrain from attempting to unjustifiably distort statistics. In early August, Trump fired Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics at the U.S. Labor Department. Following significant revisions to July's employment statistics data, he criticized the data as having been 'rigged in order to make the Republicans, and me, look bad.' He intends to nominate E.J. Antoni, an economist from a conservative policy research institute, as her successor. As Antoni has praised Trump and seen statistics as problematic, it has led to growing concerns about political interference in economic data. McEntarfer was appointed the commissioner by former U.S. President Joe Biden and confirmed by Congress. Given this background, Trump appears to want to suggest that the statistics data was manipulated to favor the Democratic Party. However, Trump has not provided clear evidence of any alleged wrongdoing. Significant revisions to employment statistics data are not uncommon. It takes time for most of the responses from businesses to be collected and for the accuracy of the statistics to improve. Issues such as the pace of gathering statistics data slowing down after the COVID-19 pandemic have also been pointed out. This time, the growth in nonfarm employment, which reflects economic trends, was significantly revised, from when the June figure was released, downward by 258,000. The data indicates that the economic slowdown may have been influenced by factors such as increased uncertainty due to Trump's tariff policies and strict crackdowns on illegal immigrants. The dismissal of the labor statistics chief should be seen as using power to try to distort the statistics. Trump has recently become more confident in his economic policies. In early July, Trump passed a large-scale tax-cut bill into law, which was one of his signature policies. He also used 'reciprocal tariffs' as a way to conclude a series of deals. Given that he had been boasting about these achievements, Trump may have been unable to tolerate the statistics data, as it threw cold water on them. Highly reliable statistics are the foundation for appropriate economic policy management and a healthy financial market. The United States, which is at the core of the international financial system, bears heavy responsibilities. The country must not undermine the reliability of statistics. Employment statistics, in particular, are crucial for assessing the state of the economy. They are a key indicator to which the U.S. Federal Reserve Board attaches extreme importance, influencing monetary policy, as well as stock, foreign exchange and other markets. Political interference in statistics can often be seen in authoritarian nations like China. If U.S. statistics become opaque, the negative impact will be immeasurable. It is hoped that Trump will consider the issues and exercise restraint. (From The Yomiuri Shimbun, Aug. 14, 2025)

World Equities Hit Record Highs, US Yields Fall on Optimism for Fed Rate Cut
NEW YORK, Aug 13 (Reuters) – An index of global equity markets rose to a record high for the second straight session on Wednesday, partly underpinned by bullish sentiment on Wall Street as investors positioned for a likely interest rate cut from the U.S. Federal Reserve. The MSCI All Country World Index .MIWD00000PUS rose as high as 954.21, breaking another record a day after reaching a new peak. It was last up 0.60% at 952.83. The benchmark S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite Indexscored record highs for the second straight session, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average finished stronger. Among the S&P 500's 11 sectors, materials, healthcare and consumer discretionary stocks led gains while communication services, consumer staples and technology shares lost ground. The Dow .DJI gained 1%, the S&P 500 .SPX rose 0.32% and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC added 0.14%. European stocks .STOXX advanced 0.54%, almost reaching two-week highs, while Japan's Nikkei .N225 rose for the sixth straight day, breaking the 43,000 level for the first time and hitting a fresh high. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS rose 1.54%. 'It's largely just a continuation from what we saw yesterday, with inflation obviously being the driver of the rally,' said Garrett Melson, portfolio strategist at Natixis Investment Managers Solutions in Boston. U.S. inflation readings, which on Tuesday showed the consumer price index rising slightly less than forecast in the year through July, indicated President Donald Trump's import tariffs had yet to filter down to consumer prices. That helped Wall Street scale new heights, supported by the increasing likelihood that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates next month. 'It's hard to really glean any sort of trends from that report other than maybe just some noise. I think on the whole, it's better than feared and that was enough to kind of spur expectations that the Fed has kind of the green light to go in September,' Melson added. Traders are pricing in a nearly 94% chance of a Fed cut in September, up from about 57% a month ago, according to the CME FedWatch tool. Also boosting market optimism was Trump's signing of an executive order pausing triple-digit levies on Chinese imports for another 90 days. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he thought an aggressive half-point cut was possible given recent Bureau of Labor Statistics revisions showing job growth had slowed to a crawl in May, June and July, though initial estimates had shown stronger employment growth that Fed officials used to argue that the labor market remained in good shape. U.S. Treasury bond prices rose across the board, with the 2-year note US2YT=RR yield, which typically moves in step with interest rate expectations for the Fed, dropping 5.2 basis points to 3.679%. The benchmark U.S. 10-year note yieldUS10YT=RR fell 5.5 basis points to 4.238%. The dollar weakened 0.32% to 147.36 against the Japanese yen JPY=EBS and was down 0.12% to 0.805 against the Swiss franc CHF=EBS. The euro was up 0.27% at $1.1704. The dollar index =USD, which tracks the greenback against a basket of major peers, fell for a second day to its lowest in two weeks. It was last down 0.25% at 97.79. Oil prices fell ahead of Trump's meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Brent crude futures LCOc1 settled down 0.74% to $65.63 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures CLc1 fell 0.82% to settle at $62.65 a barrel. Spot gold XAU= rose 0.34% to $3,356.49 an ounce.

Tokyo Stocks Turn Down on Profit-Taking in Morning
News from Japan Economy Aug 14, 2025 12:34 (JST) Tokyo, Aug. 14 (Jiji Press)--Tokyo stocks turned lower Thursday morning, with many issues succumbing to profit-taking following the key Nikkei 225 and TOPIX indexes' six-session rallies through Wednesday. The Nikkei finished the morning at 42,726.63, down 548.04 points, or 1.26 pct, from Wednesday's closing. The TOPIX fell 31.87 points, or 1.03 pct, to 3,060.04. The Nikkei posted a record closing high on Tuesday and Wednesday. All major U.S. stock indexes climbed Wednesday on the back of growing expectations for an early interest rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve. However, selling hit many Japanese stocks Thursday morning due to investor concerns over the market's recent rapid advance. The Nikkei gained nearly 3,000 points in the past six trading days. "The market is in a state of overheating in the short term," an official at a Japanese securities firm said. The appreciation of the yen against the dollar also spurred selling, brokers said. The dollar stood at 146.69-70 yen at noon, against 147.53-53 yen at 5 p.m. Wednesday. The yen's rise came after U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent made a remark urging the Bank of Japan to raise its policy interest rate to deal with inflation in Japan.
