Bloomberg Daybreak Asia: S&P Sets Fresh Record; US-Vietnam Trade Pact

Bloomberg Daybreak Asia: S&P Sets Fresh Record; US-Vietnam Trade Pact

Bloomberg12 hours ago
A rally in several big tech companies fueled gains in US stocks, with the market extending its advance as President Donald Trump said he reached a trade deal with Vietnam. Treasuries fell as a selloff in UK bonds underscored deficit worries. Following earlier losses driven by weak jobs data, the S&P 500 rose to fresh all-time highs. In the run-up to the jobs report, economists forecast employers added 110,000 jobs in June — the fewest in four months — amid a slight rise in the unemployment rate to 4.3%. The Bureau of Labor Statistics report is due Thursday, a day earlier than usual because of the Independence Day holiday. We get reaction to the day's market moves from Brian Krawez, President at Scharf Investments. Plus - the trade truce between Washington and Beijing may be holding for now, but China is increasingly wary about what's happening elsewhere: US efforts to forge deals that could isolate Chinese firms from global supply chains. Ahead of a July 9 deadline, US officials are deep in talks with major trading partners in Asia and Europe, pushing for new agreements that would include restrictions on Chinese content, or secure commitments to counter what Washington sees as China's unfair trade practices. In the first such deal, President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced a tiered tariff agreement with Vietnam. Exports to the US from the Southeast Asian nation will be charged a 20% rate, Trump said in a social-media post, with 40% levied on any goods deemed to be transshipped through the country. We get the latest from Jill Disis, Bloomberg News Desk Editor in Hong Kong. She speaks with Bloomberg's Shery Ahn and Haidi Stroud-Watts on The Asia Trade.

Vietnam Still Finalizing Trade Deal Already Announced by Trump

Vietnam said negotiators are still working to finalize the details of the trade deal announced by US President Donald Trump, providing little clarity to businesses and investors beyond the tariff rates disclosed so far. Trump said Wednesday the two sides agreed a deal that will see the US impose a 20% tariff on Vietnamese exports, with a 40% levy on any goods deemed to be transshipped through the country. Vietnam had agreed to drop all levies on US imports, he said.

Israel Pushes to Gain Ground in Gaza as Hamas Weighs Ceasefire

Israel is intensifying military operations in one of the last Hamas strongholds in Gaza, as the sides stake out positions before ceasefire negotiations proposed by US President Donald Trump. The escalation comes as Hamas weighs a call by Trump to enter a 60—day ceasefire during which it would return half of the 50 hostages it still holds and pursue mediated talks with Israel to end the war. The proposal, accepted by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will be one of the major topics during his visit to Washington next week.

How Long It Would Take You To Save for a $1 Million Home in Your State

It's no secret that buying a home in modern America can be a rather pricey proposition, no matter which state you buy the house in. That said, while a $1 million home is a $1 million home, it can take far longer in some states than others to save a down payment for such a house. Also See: Learn More: Recently, GOBankingRates studied the median income for a single individual in every state. With that information in hand, GOBankingRates then calculated a savings amount of 20% of that median income on a state-by-state basis, factoring in such costs as a monthly mortgage as well. From that matrix, GOBankingRates calculated just how long it would take you to save the $200,000 necessary to buy your million-dollar dream home. Thanks to high incomes, citizens of some of the most expensive states (such as Washington and California) can put back $1 million in just 20 years, those who live in lower-income states such as Mississippi, West Virginia and Arkansas will take on average between 35 and 40 years to save enough to afford a $1 million dream home.

Median income for single person: $43,379 Yearly savings for 20% down payment: $7,368 How many years to save up down payment: 27.1 Monthly mortgage: $5,237 Methodology: For this piece GOBankingRates first found median income for a single person (defined in the American Community Survey as 'non-family households') for each state as sourced from the 2023 American Community Survey as conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau. GOBankingRates then found the post-tax income for single people in each state using an in-house income tax calculator, assuming they were taking the standard deduction and using tax bracket data from the Tax Foundation. GOBankingRates then set the down payment at 20% and assumed a person would be following the 50/30/20 rule where 20% of post-tax income goes towards savings and debt repayment. GOBankingRates then calculated how long it would take a single person in each state following the 50/30/20 rule to save for the down payment ($200,000) on a $1,000,000 home. From there GOBankingRates also calculated the 30- year fixed mortgage on a $1,000,000 assuming no private mortgage insurance, no homeowner's association fees and no property tax, with a rate of 6.84% as sourced from Freddie Mac. All data was collected on and is up to date as of June 12, 2025.
