- The US economy likely expanded its workforce by 243,000 positions in April 2024, marking a modest decrease compared to the 303,000 jobs generated in March. Economists expect ongoing employment growth in industries such as construction and leisure, partially influenced by a recent surge in immigration. While it represents a slowdown from the rapid pace seen in the first quarter, it remains above the average pace observed in the latter half of 2023.
- Japan’s 10-year government bond yield went up to about 0.9%, getting close to its highest point in six months. This happened because a recent auction to boost liquidity showed that not many people wanted to buy bonds. Also, the Bank of Japan decided to keep buying bonds at the same rate as before for May.
