The May non-farm payrolls report, released before Walsh's debut, is expected to be a key variable influencing short-term capital markets.

Ahead of newly appointed Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh's inaugural address, the release of the May US non-farm payroll data created a disconnect between the strength of US stocks and the market's reaction to year-end interest rate hikes. Major investment banks exhibit significant divergence in their employment forecasts, with three different market scenarios emerging based on non-farm payrolls, the unemployment rate, and wages. Unrounded figures for unemployment and wage growth, among other implicit data, could trigger sharp short-term fluctuations in the US stock and bond markets.

Rising expectations of Japanese intervention coupled with increased bets on interest rate hikes caused the USD/JPY exchange rate to fluctuate around the 160 level.

The dollar fell against the yen for the second consecutive trading day in Asian trading on Friday, retreating to near the 160 level. The Japanese government signaled renewed intervention in the foreign exchange market, while stronger-than-expected wage growth strengthened expectations of a Bank of Japan interest rate hike, both supporting the yen's strength. The market is currently focused on the Bank of Japan's June interest rate decision and the US non-farm payroll report, which could lead to further short-term volatility in the foreign exchange market.

Non-farm payrolls preview: Expected at only 105,000! Has the US employment situation truly recovered from the high of 115,000, or is it just a temporary resurgence?

Market forecasts indicate that the median expectation for non-farm payrolls in the US in May 2026 is 105,000, a slight decrease from 115,000 in April, but still higher than the 12-month average, suggesting the job market remains resilient. The unemployment rate is expected to remain stable at 4.3% for the month, with relatively little divergence among institutions' forecasts. The official data to be released at 8:30 PM Beijing time on June 5th will provide important guidance for the Federal Reserve's subsequent monetary policy adjustments.

The war is not over, and interest rate hikes are on the horizon! The euro is dancing on the edge of stagflation. How long can it hold the 1.16 level?

Gold continues to decline as US non-farm payroll data is released; be wary of a breakout.

International gold prices edged lower to around $4,450 in Asian trading on Friday, as the market focused on both the progress of peace talks between the US and Iran and the upcoming US non-farm payroll data. While continued geopolitical tensions supported safe-haven demand, rising inflation expectations, higher US Treasury yields, and a strong dollar limited gold's upside potential, potentially leading to further short-term market volatility.

Crude oil trading alert: A sharp drop of nearly 8 million barrels in US crude oil inventories coupled with escalating supply risks in the Middle East has kept oil prices range-bound.

WTI crude oil prices remained range-bound around $93 during Asian trading hours on Friday. Despite lingering uncertainty in the Middle East, market expectations of a potential peace agreement between the US and Iran limited further price increases. Meanwhile, US crude oil inventories fell sharply by nearly 8 million barrels, far exceeding market expectations, indicating tightening supply. OPEC's maintenance of its strong demand growth forecast also provided support for oil prices. The market is closely watching developments in the Middle East and the global energy supply outlook.

Markets are holding their breath awaiting Friday evening's U.S. May non-farm payrolls report. The market widely expects the Federal Reserve to hold rates steady in June, barring any extreme deviations in the non-farm payrolls data, with policy focus shifting to inflation and the potential risk of a rate hike in early 2027.

Warsh's "stagflation" dilemma: Raising interest rates to combat inflation, or betting on AI deflation?

Warsh's Federal Reserve faces a stagflation dilemma: the Beige Book shows AI investment driving growth, but energy prices are pushing inflation to 3.8%, and consumer spending is weak. While officials like Logan are calling for interest rate hikes, Warsh is optimistic about AI's potential for deflation. At the June meeting, he will face a crucial decision: fight inflation or gamble on rate cuts?

Gold Trading Alert: A Turning Point Appears in the Middle East Ceasefire! Gold Prices Rebound Nearly 1%, Can the Dawn of Peace in Iran Ignite a New Bull Market?

Boosted by optimism surrounding a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon, international gold prices rebounded nearly 1% on Thursday, with spot gold briefly touching $4,515 per ounce before closing at $4,475. The decline in both the US dollar index and US Treasury yields lowered the cost of holding gold. However, Hezbollah's refusal to cease fire and Israel's continued actions complicate the peace prospects. With Friday's non-farm payroll data release expected, gold will receive short-term support, but in the long term, attention will remain focused on geopolitical conflicts and the Federal Reserve's policy direction.

Spot gold is fluctuating around $4450-$4500, while the narrowing decline in the US dollar index is putting some downward pressure on gold prices.
