U.S. July job openings cool, but edge up from June revision

U.S. July job openings cooled versus expectations but rose from a downwardly revised June reading, with JOLTS showing 7.271 million openings (vs 7.330 million expected) and June revised to 7.182 million. Hires were 5.054 million and separations 5.072 million; quits fell to 3.056 million while layoffs/discharges declined to 1.666 million. The softer July reading, along with hawkish Fed commentary, gives the Fed some breathing room as rate-cutting expectations fade and markets price in a possible September 25 bp hike, with attention turning to August payrolls for the next labor-market cue.

Yields Rise as Payrolls Beat Forecasts, Oil Climbs

U.S. Treasury yields moved higher after the ADP private payrolls report showed May gains of 122,000 (the strongest since January 2025). The 10-year yield rose to about 4.489%, the 2-year to about 4.078%, and the 30-year to about 4.989%. Oil prices also climbed, with WTI closing at $96.02 and Brent at $97.81. The ISM services index came in at 53.6, and job openings rose to 7.6 million in April—the highest since May 2024 (per BLS, with a correction noted). The moves come amid ongoing Middle East tensions and shifting energy and labor data.

Labor market shows cracks as December JOLTS signals softer openings

December JOLTS data show job openings fell to 6.5 million and the openings rate to 3.9%, while hiring rose only modestly to 3.3%, signaling softer demand for workers. The downturn is echoed by rising unemployment claims and notable layoffs, though some indicators (like Bank of America data) suggest pockets of improvement, leaving the labor market in a fragile stabilization phase that could influence Fed decisions.
