Wednesday’s stock market trading was brief but sweet—the S&P 500 and NASDAQ closed at records in a half-day session. The stock market was closed yesterday for the Fourth of July, but will reopen today with all eyes on the June jobs report to be released this morning. It’s expected to show more cooling in the labor market, which would reinforce the FOMC is likely plan to cut interest rates this fall.

A federal court temporarily paused a ban on noncompetes from taking effect in September, ruling that the FTC overstepped its authority in April when it ordered a halt to the clauses affecting 30 million Americans. The ban on noncompetes was intended to allow workers like doctors and nurses to move jobs more easily and boost wages in the process, but businesses opposed it on the grounds that competitors could poach their employees and they’d lose valuable trade secrets.

LABOR DEPARTMENT: US Jobs

US ECONOMY

By Staff Reporters

The Labor Department just reported that the U.S. added 206,000 jobs last month, slightly beating expectations. But the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.1%, a sign of slack in a labor market that has been remarkably strong even in the face of high interest rates.

There were other signs as well that the job market continues to cool. Average hourly earnings were up 3.9% in June from a year earlier, marking their smallest gain since 2021. The jobs counts for both April and May were revised lower. The labor force participation rate, the share of working-age people who were employed or seeking work, ticked up—an indication that more people are entering the labor market.

Today I am sharing with you an excerpt from a letter I wrote to IMA clients in the winter of 2023.

I discussed my condensed views on the stock market, economy, and our investment strategy. I think it is a good overview of where we are still today, almost a year and a half later. If you’ve read it before, skip to the end, where I share my updated thoughts on the Magnificent Seven and Nvidia.
