Global Financial Headlines
The dollar slipped against most major currencies after July US job openings data signalled a softening labour market, tilting the odds further in favour of larger interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Traders boosted expectations that the Fed will deliver a half a percentage point reduction at its next meeting. MSCI's global equities gauge was lower, and safe-haven assets such as Treasuries and Japan's Yen were in demand after a mixed batch of economic data. Wall Street stock trading was choppy after Tuesday's big selloff. US job openings dropped to a 3.5-year low in July, suggesting the labour market was losing steam but probably not enough for the Federal Reserve to consider a big interest rate cut this month. Job openings had fallen by 237,000 to 7.673 million on the last day of July, the lowest level since January 2021.
