More Fed cuts, more OPEC supply, more political turmoil | MarketTalk: What’s up today? | Swissquote
About this video
The US economy added just 22,000 jobs last month – a big miss versus expectations. The unemployment rate climbed to 4.3% and revisions showed job losses in June.

But here’s the twist – inflation is still muted, even as tariffs drive up producer prices. Will Thursday’s CPI finally reveal the pressure at the consumer level? Or will weak inflation force the Fed’s hand even further?
Meanwhile, the S&P 500 hit new highs, Nvidia slipped, Broadcom soared and Asia kicked off the week on dovish Fed optimism. In Japan, PM Shigeru Ishiba’s resignation weighed on the yen, while France braces for political turmoil of its own.
