Non-farm payroll data confirms Waller and Bowman's case for rate cuts: labor market shows signs of weakness
US labor data supports calls for monetary easing, with US bond yields and the US dollar falling together. The 10-year bond yield is 4.295%, and the 2-year bond yield is 3.801%. In July, the US added only 73,000 jobs. The unemployment rate rose slightly from 4.1% to 4.2%. At the same time, previous data was significantly revised: job additions in May were revised from 144,000 to 19,000, and job additions in June were revised from 147,000 to 14,000. Prior to the release of the employment report, Fed governors Waller and Bowman, who held different opinions, indicated signs of weakness in the labor market.

Hong Kong Needs a Liquidity Revolution
In the past two decades, Hong Kong was once the jewel of Asia's capital markets. But today, the Hong Kong stock market faces an undeniable reality: insufficient liquidity. Trading volumes have declined, valuations have remained depressed for a long time, and the financing capacity of high-quality companies is severely constrained. The issue is not a lack of quality companies in Hong Kong, but a lack of new liquidity absorption models. In the new global capital landscape, liquidity determines market pricing power and influence. Wall Street holds this influence, using ETFs, derivatives, and structured products to continuously cycle funds and assets, creating a vast liquidity network.
