Charting the Global Economy: US Jobs Data Eases Pressure on Fed
(Bloomberg) -- Fresh US jobs figures took pressure off the Federal Reserve to consider an interest-rate cut later this month, likely leaving the central bank on hold at least until the fall. Foreign Buyers Swoop on Cape Town Homes, Pricing Out Locals Massachusetts to Follow NYC in Making Landlords Pay Broker Fees NYC Commutes Resume After Midtown Bus Terminal Crash Chaos Struggling Downtowns Are Looking to Lure New Crowds What Gothenburg Got Out of Congestion Pricing While employers added more jobs in June than forecast and the unemployment rate ticked lower, growth in private payrolls weakened. Elsewhere, the manufacturing slowdown in Asia deepened. Survey data showed purchasing managers indexes for Taiwan, Indonesia and Vietnam firmly in contraction territory. Here are some of the charts that appeared on Bloomberg this week on the latest developments in the global economy, markets and geopolitics: US US job growth exceeded expectations in June as an unusual surge in public education employment masked a slowdown in hiring across the rest of the economy. Private payrolls rose the least since October, largely reflecting hiring in health care. The jobless rate declined to 4.1%, indicating employers remain reticent to lay off workers. A buildup of unsold houses sitting on the market for weeks is becoming a new reality in once-booming housing areas across the Sun Belt. Real estate agents in the South and Southwest say they're seeing more people list homes, giving up on hopes that mortgage rates will drop anytime soon. In Florida, homeowners are fleeing soaring insurance costs, and in Colorado, investors are culling rental properties. Europe Euro-area inflation settled at the European Central Bank's target in June, strengthening arguments to press pause on a year-long campaign of interest-rate cuts. A stronger euro and lower energy costs are helping keep price pressures in check — as is lackluster expansion by the region's 20-nation economy. The UK economy grew in the first quarter by the most in a year as Britons spent more and saved less before the Labour government's tax hikes and extra US tariffs came into effect. The outlook has darkened since the start of April amid a sharp drop in employment, weak retail sales and plunging exports to the US. Swedish retail sales fell the most in more than three decades in May, continuing a run of disappointing data and increasing pressure on the country's central bank to lower rates again. The slump compounds the recent below-forecasts data readings for Sweden including a surprise contraction in first-quarter economic output and a rise in the unemployment rate to 9% in May. Asia The slowdown in Asia's manufacturing activity deepened further in June, a warning sign for the region's growth prospects as tariffs on shipments to the US are poised to increase next week. Export-reliant economies including Taiwan and Vietnam saw their purchasing managers indexes deteriorate further, with factories reporting a continued decline in new orders, output and staffing as the trade war saps demand. Japan's annual wage negotiations concluded with the largest pay increase in 34 years, an outcome that supports the central bank's view that a cycle of higher wages and prices is emerging. Workers at 5,162 companies affiliated with the nation's largest union federation Rengo secured an average wage increase of 5.25%, according to the final update of pay deals announced by the union group US President Donald Trump floated the idea of keeping 25% tariffs on Japan's cars as talks between the two nations continued just before a slew of higher duties are set to kick in if a trade deal isn't reached. Emerging Markets Cargo thefts in Mexico topped 24,000 in 2024, up about 16%, data from transportation risk consultancy Overhaul show. That trails the US and Europe in total incidents. But in loss-ratio terms, which compare the number of thefts to economic activity, Mexico is the worst in the world. World Poland's central bank unexpectedly cut interest rates after a one-month pause and said inflation is likely to ease within its target in the coming months. A day after the Wednesday move, central bank Governor Adam Glapinski said the reduction was not the beginning of a cycle of monetary easing, even as he held out for another potential move in September. Tanzania also cut, while Ethiopia and the Bank of Central African States kept borrowing costs on hold. --With assistance from Irina Anghel, Maya Averbuch, Agnieszka Barteczko, Charlie Duxbury, Claire Jiao, Sakura Murakami, Andrea Navarro, Mark Niquette, Jana Randow, Michael Sasso, Zoe Schneeweiss, Erica Yokoyama, Craig Stirling and Jeremy Diamond.

Forget fundamentals. 4 everyday investors have made winning stock picks with a much simpler strategy.
Say goodbye to Excel spreadsheets, financial statements, and fancy Bloomberg terminals. Some everyday investors have a secret weapon that's leading to winning stock picks. Bob Vanscoy bought Nvidia in 2020, years before the AI boom propelled the company to its current position as the world's most valuable company. The 54-year-old father of two invested after observing his children playing video games during the pandemic. Vanscoy was surprised by the level of detail in the games. "I got to thinking that these were becoming more than just games. They were becoming stories," Vanscoy told Business Insider. "My kids told me Nvidia graphics cards were really, really popular and everyone was to get them." Fast forward to today, and Vanscoy holds 1,292 shares at a cost basis of $6.76 per share, brokerage statements viewed by Business Insider show. He's notched a gain of 1,593.15% on his investment, which is worth about $147,977. Vanscoy isn't the only investor who's made stock picks based on things his kids were into. Mikhaela Delahunty, a 42-year-old PR specialist, bought Crocs stock in 2022 after seeing the shoes everywhere. "They were sold out, and my kids were begging me for some really strange colored plastic shoes," Delahunty said. She did some more research, found that Crocs had recently completed an acquisition and posted strong earnings, and bought in. While Delahunty sold out of her stock positions last year to free up liquidity to grow her business, her gut instinct was correct. Today, Crocs is rated favorably across Wall Street, with an over 60% buy rating among analysts, according to Bloomberg. "The power that tweens have on the purchasing decisions of their parents is remarkable, and you can't ever discount that," Delahunty said. Invest in what you know While picking stocks based on vibes of the moment might seem a lot less precise than what the Wall Street pros are doing, it's actually not that dar removed from traditional investing wisdom. As Warren Buffett famously advised: invest in what you understand. Some retail investors have put this mindset into action by using their day jobs to glean investing insights. Etienne Breton, a 47-year-old technical expert at a manufacturing company, invested in Palantir after realizing the software company's solutions were sorely needed at his job. "I realized it could solve the exact problem I saw at my own job: data trapped in disconnected silos, with brittle patches, custom code, and no flexibility," Breton said. Another Palantir investor, 33-year-old Sherry Jiang, was drawn to the company because of her career ambitions. "I was really curious about potentially working there, and I actually interviewed there," Jiang said. She ultimately took a job at Google instead. After a few years, Jiang left to start her personal finance company, Peek. But she kept tabs on Palantir and bought shares last year. "I still follow Palantir because I really believe in their edge. It's not just in the technology but also in their long-standing relationships with extremely sticky customers, like governments," Jiang said. Both Breton and Jiang's bets have paid off handsomely. Breton has amassed 17,800 shares of Palantir, with some as low as $6 a share. While Jiang's holding isn't quite as large, her 218 shares of Palantir at a cost basis of $23 have delivered strong returns as the shares surged in recent months. Ask an expert What do the pros think about this strategy? As it turns out, even some of Wall Street 's biggest firms rely on similar instincts in addition to crunching numbers. Analysts often conduct "channel checks" by visiting physical locations to observe foot traffic, customer activity, and site operations. So when Delahunty observed Crocs flying off the shelves, she was essentially doing her own version of a channel check. Dan Egan, VP of behavioral finance and investing at the financial advisory company Betterment, says investors should proceed cautiously, but investing based on what you observe in your own day-to-day can indeed be a viable framework, especially for more casual investors. "If you find it engaging and intellectually stimulating, and you like talking about investment strategies, it's totally fine. Go ahead and do it," Egan said. However, he cautions investors against making this their primary method of investing. If your goal is to achieve risk-adjusted returns, staying diversified through ETF s, index funds, and broad asset allocation strategies is still the best move. For retail investors looking to get some hands-on experience, paying attention to what's around you and putting a little money behind it might be the most intuitive first step there is.
