Wu's weekly macro indicators and analysis: Fed meeting minutes, SpaceX inclusion in index
Compiled by: GaryMa Wu Blockchain
Summary
Last week, the situation between the US and Iran shifted toward ceasefire negotiations, and falling oil prices eased inflation pressure. US job growth slowed, but the unemployment rate declined, indicating a cooling labor market while still showing resilience. This week, key focus includes the Federal Reserve meeting minutes and SpaceX’s inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 Index.
Last Week Review
Over the past week, the US-Iran conflict shifted from direct exchanges to a “ceasefire–negotiation–maritime standoff.” Qatar said there had been progress in the indirect technical talks between the US and Iran in Doha, but Iran warned the US not to get involved in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran also moved to strengthen its control over the strait; IRGC warnings forced some vessels to turn back, and the UK and France plan to send mine-clearing forces to support the southern front. Oil prices fell back to pre-war levels, weakening Iran’s pressure leverage.
US June ADP employment rose by 98,000, the lowest increase since March; it was expected to be 118,000, versus a previous figure of 122,000.
The US June unemployment rate was 4.2%, the lowest level since June 2025; it was expected to be 4.30%, with the previous reading at 4.30%.
In US June seasonally adjusted non-farm payrolls, employment increased by 57,000; it was expected to be 110,000, and the prior figure was revised from 172,000 to 129,000.
US initial jobless claims for the week ending June 27 were 215,000; it was expected to be 220,000, and the prior figure was revised from 215,000 to 216,000.
