UK job vacancies fall at a slower pace while wage growth holds steady
The decline in payroll employment in the UK eased in July, with employers cutting headcount by 8,000, compared to a month-on-month drop of 26,000 in June. July's figure marks the smallest decline in headcount since a modest rise in January, offering a glimmer of hope for the sluggish UK job market. The early estimate of payrolled employees for July 2025 decreased by 164,000 on the year, added the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Tuesday's data 'tallies with some of the business surveys which suggest hiring appetite has begun to improve after a torrid spring', said James Smith, developed market economist at ING. 'The combination of National Insurance (payroll tax) hikes and a sizeable increase in the National Living Wage in April had become a major headwind, particularly in consumer services.' The ONS also announced on Tuesday that the unemployment rate held steady in April to June at 4.7%, a four-year high. Annual wage growth excluding bonuses held steady at 5.0% in the three months to June, while this average in the private-sector eased slightly to 4.8% from 4.9%. Related Struggling to find work? UK sees more jobseekers and fewer vacancies BoE chief says collaboration is key to solving economic imbalances 'Although pay growth has slowed, it's now pretty static, and is still outstripping inflation, so there's a risk that firms will pass on heavier costs as higher prices,' said Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at Hargreaves Lansdown. She added: 'Bank of England policymakers struck a more cautious tone than expected at the last meeting when it comes to future policy, and this jobs snapshot doesn't change the overall picture too much. It's touch and go as to whether there will be a cut in November but December is looking a bit more likely.' The fresh data comes after the Bank of England cut its key interest rate last week to 4%, the lowest level since March 2023. Vacancies are below pre-Covid levels in virtually all sectors now, highlighting the weakness of the labour market, although price pressures remain a risk to the economy. The number of job vacancies fell by 44,000 to 718,000 between May and July. 'The Bank faces a fine balancing act,' said Richard Carter, head of fixed interest research at Quilter Cheviot. 'Inflation remains at 3.6%, fuelled by housing and transport costs, but signs of slack in the labour market are becoming harder to ignore. With the MPC split on the pace of easing, these latest numbers could tip the balance towards further cuts to shore up the economy." Sign in to access your portfolio

3 FTSE 250 shares I think could keep soaring in 2025!
These FTSE 250 shares have risen more than 35% since the start of 2025. And I think they could continue rocketing in value over the short term and possibly beyond. Here's why. The defence share Chemring Group (LSE:CHG) is up 62% so far this year, driven by rejuvenated defence spending across Europe. This puts it in the Top 10 of FTSE 250 risers over the period but I still see it as worthy of further research. Demand for its countermeasures, sensors and explosives is taking off as geopolitical tensions increase. Orders rose 5% in the six months to April. Order intake surged 42% to record levels, pushing its order book to all-time highs of £1.3bn, and up 25% year on year. I'm optimistic Chemring can continue rising, though be mindful of the company's current high valuation. It trades on a forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 27.6 times. That's higher than the five-year average of roughly 22 times. I think this fairly reflects the robust improved outlook and Chemring's strong execution. But this multiple could also prompt a share price retracement if headwinds (like supply chain disruptions) impact momentum. The gold miner Gold and silver producers like Hochschild Mining (LSE:HOC) have been powered by further sharp price gains for precious metals. This particular miner has risen 35% since 1 January. Gold prices have gained 27% over the period, while silver's up 31%. They've been driven by worries over interest rates, economic growth and geopolitical tensions. Buying has also been boosted by the sinking US dollar. I expect these factors to remain supportive, and that considering Hochschild could be a good idea for those seeking gold and silver exposure. As its greater share price gains reflect, miners' profits can grow far more sharply during bull markets than the actual metals themselves. Remember, though, that this approach also exposes investors to supply-related problems. Even if precious metals continue rising, Hochschild's profits could underwhelm if it experiences problems like cost increases and production outages. The banking stock Lion Finance's (LSE:BGEO) share price ascent has also been several years in the making. The Georgian bank has risen an extra 65% in the year to date, also making it one of the mid-cap index's star performers. It may have a brand new name — the share was trading under the name Bank of Georgia until February — but strong trading news show it's still business as usual. Operating income in its core Georgian division rose 10.8% between January and March, while profit increased 9.4%. I believe earnings can maintain their strong upward trajectory, driven by rapid economic growth in its Armenian and Georgian markets. It may experience some turbulence, however, if interest rates move higher again. Despite this year's gains, Lion Finance shares still look dirt cheap in my opinion. A forward P/E ratio of 6 times and 4% dividend yield mean the bank deserves a close look from serious value investors.

High Yield and Low Stress: 2 Dividend ETFs That Are Built for Passive Income
Key Points Statistical evidence supports the idea that these two ETFs can simultaneously grow capital and generate income. Maximum monthly drawdowns are less than the benchmark's performance, and so is the risk as defined by standard deviation. These ETFs do relatively best when benchmark indexes are highly volatile but still make money in bull markets. 10 stocks we like better than JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF › The JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSEMKT: JEPI) and JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (NASDAQ: JEPQ) have garnered significant investor attention, in part due to their trailing-12-month dividend yields of 8.2% and 11.2%, respectively. Moreover, they offer monthly income, making them a favorite among passive income investors. As such, it would be interesting to share some modeling of their performance to see if they do offer investors a way to a relatively low-volatility strategy that practically guarantees a monthly income. (Keep in mind dividends can always be cut.) Introducing two JPMorgan ETFs The first thing to understand about these two exchange-traded funds is that they are not tailored to invest in dividend stocks. Instead, they both follow the same strategy of investing up to 80% of net assets in equities (stocks), with the only difference being that the Equity Premium ETF focuses on S&P 500 stocks while the Nasdaq Equity Premium ETF focuses on stocks in the Nasdaq-100. As noted above, the stocks are not explicitly selected for their dividend yield, an essential point because high-yield equity-focused ETFs often involve concentrating holdings in sectors with high yields. The remaining net assets, up to 20%, are invested in equity-linked notes (ELNs) that follow a strategy of selling call options on the indexes that the two ETFs benchmark -- S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100, respectively. A call option is the right to buy shares of the index at a specified price (the strike price) and is bought by bullish investors. The seller of the call options (in this case the ETF) receives a premium from the buyer. However, if the index increases significantly, the option is exercised, and the ELN typically incurs a loss. Conversely, when the index experiences a small gain, stays flat, or loses value, the option isn't exercised. The idea is that an anticipated net profit in premiums collected from the ELNs, combined with some dividend income from stock holdings, will generate sufficient income for distributions to be paid to shareholders under any condition, particularly in the event of a substantial increase in the index. And note that the upside is limited (gains less than the market), but the downside is also restricted. This table lays out how the portions of the ETFs will perform based on how the underlying index performs in a month. Monthly Index Performance Strong Gain Moderate Gain Moderate Loss Strong Loss Equities (At least 80% of the ETF assets) Strong Gain Gain Loss Strong Loss ELNs (Up to 20% of the ETF's assets) Loss Profit Profit Profit Overall Gain, but less than the market Gain, but less than the market Slight profit/slight loss Loss, but less than the market Author's analysis. What the ETFs need to do to demonstrate they work Before I throw charts at you, it's worth noting that the proof of the strategy working includes: The ETF should have a lower volatility than the index (measured here by the standard deviation of monthly returns). The ETFs should have relatively low maximum monthly drawdowns because passive investors usually do not want to lose a significant amount in any one month. The strategy should demonstrate a high coefficient of determination, or R^2, indicating that the independent variable (in this case, the benchmark index) is primarily responsible for determining the outcome. Performance consistent with the outcomes outlined in the table above. That said, here are the charts comparing the monthly index performance to the ETF's performance. Both sets of data include reinvestment of dividends. First, here's the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF. And now the JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF. A few conclusions can be drawn from the data, along with some additional calculations. The monthly standard deviation of the S&P 500 over the period is 4.7%, compared to 3.1% for JEPI, indicating lower volatility returns. The monthly standard deviation of the Nasdaq-100 over the period is 5.7%, compared to 4.2% for JEPQ, indicating lower volatility returns. Both ETFs exhibit high R^2 values, indicating a consistency of outcome from the strategy. The three most significant monthly drawdowns for JEPI are -6.4%, -4.2%, and -4.1%. The three most significant monthly drawdowns for JEPQ are -8.7%, -6.8%, and -6.6%. In general, the strategy is effective, generating a collection of positive returns when the indices report moderate gains and losses. The downside is limited compared to the index when the market declines significantly, and the upside is limited when the indexes perform well. What it means to passive investors Both indices have performed very well over the periods, with an average monthly gain of 1.5% on the S&P 500 and 1.8% on the Nasdaq; therefore, the ETFs have understandably underperformed. However, there's no guarantee that these conditions will continue, and these ETFs have demonstrated lower volatility returns while maintaining substantial dividends for those seeking monthly income. As such, they are excellent options for those seeking to generate passive income across a range of market conditions. Should you invest $1,000 in JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF right now?
