yeah, that's crazy. i had a family of sandhill cranes that would come to my back door for food. spoiled rotten.

This is all over the place by now but some things to consider-this report haz always been a rolling average of the last 10 years so as mentioned many times before if those averages say 10k construction jobs were 'created'...POOF! they were created-it is not even close to empirical-plus the always revised 'up' month prior and the people who fall off the UI benefit collection conveniently so they are never included in the official #s-which allows the rate to be where it's at..and really..do ya think it's at the level it was in 1969 now?...hilarious

Unusually large U.S. jobs number stokes case for 'unusually large' rate hike

The U.S. Federal Reserve faces renewed pressure to deliver another 75 basis point interest rate hike at its upcoming meeting in September as fresh data showed job gains unexpectedly accelerating and overall employment at a record high despite soaring inflation and rising borrowing costs.

The economy added 528,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department said in its closely watched employment report on Friday, a far larger-than-expected number than expected. Data for June was revised higher to show 398,000 jobs created instead of the previously reported 372,000, while the unemployment rate fell to a pre-pandemic low of 3.5%. The strength of the labor market is a double-edged sword for Fed officials. They see it as an encouraging sign they can continue to raise rates to tame inflation without causing a sharp spike in the unemployment rate, but also a concerning one given the labor market will need to cool to help ease price pressures.

Friday's blowout number of job gains will likely on balance give policymakers further pause for thought on whether they are raising rates quickly enough to bring down inflation. An extremely tight jobs market has been fueling strong wage growth and Friday's report showed average hourly earnings rising more than expected, to 5.2% from one year previously.

Attention will now turn to next Wednesday's key Consumer Price Index inflation reading as the central bank plots its path. Whether the Fed will go ahead with a third straight 75-basis-point rate hike at its policy meeting next month - a pace unmatched in more than a generation - or dial back a bit is of central interest to investors, businesses and consumers who are increasingly fearful that the central bank's inflation fight may ultimately trigger a recession.

They were wanting to liquidate someone as the indices went straight up upon the open then dropped off-they always use something as the "reason" the markets so this or that...99% of the time it is not what they say it is as if you look at the NAS, for instance, what it gained was quickly sold into-and it wouldn't have gone straight up on the open if the Jobs #s report is what caused all that-nope this is total manipulation and we'll probably see something over the weekend as to who the next over-leveraged 'victim' is/was'''

Tiger Cubs Stung by Market Rout Dumped Stocks, Then Missed Rally

When equities tumbled earlier this year, saddling some of the hedge fund industry’s most successful stock-pickers with crushing losses, they rushed to unload shares to halt the bleeding.

But that hasty retreat left Tiger Global Management, Coatue Management and D1 Capital Partners ill-positioned to capitalize on a powerful market reversal in July, when the S&P 500 logged its best month since November 2020. By then they had already jettisoned large chunks of their portfolios and increased short wagers on stocks they expected to fall.

Dan Sundheim’s D1 had a net exposure to equities of just 9.5% at the end of June, according to a person familiar with the matter. The firm’s stock book gained a comparatively modest 2.9% in July, helping the broader portfolio eke out a monthly gain of just 1.1%. The main hedge funds of Tiger Global and Coatue were little changed for the month, people said. Major stock market indexes, meanwhile, soared as corporate profits held up better than expected and investors speculated that the Federal Reserve’s aggressive moves to battle inflation dimmed the prospects for a deep recession. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index surged 12%.

D1’s low net exposure suggests it was almost evenly split between long and short bets -- and wrong-footed for a broad rally. As of May, Philippe Laffont’s Coatue had reduced net exposure of its hedge fund to 14% from about 60% a year earlier, according to an investor presentation. It was also sitting on more than 80% cash. It made the shift after underestimating the magnitude and speed of the stock selloff earlier in the year, the presentation shows. Chase Coleman’s Tiger told investors this week that it also misjudged the impact of rising global inflation and entered 2022 with too much exposure to stocks. The firm slashed its US equity holdings in the first quarter, selling out of 83 and trimming stakes in 46 more, while adding just two new positions, filings show. The value of its entire portfolio dropped about 40% in the first quarter, reflecting both divestitures and lower share prices.

July’s rally could well prove short-lived, making these firms’ repositioning look like a better wager in coming months. The S&P was still down 13% this year through Thursday. As of June, D1 managed roughly $22 billion, with about $15 billion in privates and $7 billion in stocks.

The paltry July returns followed a brutal stretch for the three money managers, leaving them deep in the red for the year. Tiger’s hedge fund tumbled 49.8% through the first seven months, compared with declines of 28% for D1 and 17% for Coatue. Tiger’s long-only fund plunged 62% in that span.

All the managers have connections to legendary stock-picker Julian Robertson and his Tiger Management. Coleman and Laffont both worked for Robertson before setting out on their own, and Sundheim previously worked for Andreas Halvorsen, also a Robertson protégé, before starting D1. Another Tiger Cub, Steve Mandel’s Lone Pine Capital, managed to capitalize on July’s upswing, posting a 7% gain for the month. That pared the fund’s decline for the year to 33%.

In its May investor presentation, Coatue said it had gone to cash for peace of mind, telling clients: “Our job now is to figure out when and how to start playing offense.”

US Consumer Borrowing Jumps by More Than $40 Billion, Second-Most Ever

US consumer borrowing surged in June, reflecting a jump in credit-card balances and a record increase in non-revolving lending that includes auto and school loans.

Total credit increased $40.2 billion from the prior month, second only to March’s $47.1 billion spike, Federal Reserve figures showed Friday. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for a $27 billion advance. The figures aren’t adjusted for inflation. Revolving credit outstanding, which includes credit cards, increased $14.8 billion. Non-revolving credit increased $25.4 billion.

The June figures wrap up a quarter in which borrowing rose an annualized 8.7%. Motor vehicle loans at the end of the second quarter increased about $32 billion, while student loans was up less than $1 billion. With inflation at a 40-year high, Americans are having to spend more to buy the same goods and services as before. Consumers, however, have so far proved resilient, with outlays growing on an inflation-adjusted basis in June -- even if just slightly.

That’s certainly not true of all workers though. The rapid price gains have left others struggling to pay their bills. A Census Bureau survey conducted in late June and early July found four in 10 adults said it has been somewhat or very difficult to cover usual household expenses.

It is very likely that this one spilled the beans on every one else and now is being rewarded for that-LIBOR was manipulated by ALL the banks-it is also yet another survey so the responders could say whatever they wanted-they are trying to move the system away from it but they still have a 'franken'-version of it-eventually it will be replaced with Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) but that is just another way for them to manipulate what they say they charge other banks for loans

Ex-Deutsche Bank Trader Gets Guilty Plea Tossed Out, $1 Million Fine Returned

A federal judge in New York vacated the guilty plea of a former Deutsche Bank AG trader who admitted to conspiring with others to manipulate the Libor interest-rate benchmark, after an appeals court overturned the convictions of two of his ex-colleagues earlier this year. Timothy Parietti “must be viewed as innocent” in light of the January reversal, US District Judge Paul Engelmayer ruled Friday in Manhattan. He also vacated a judgment of conviction against Parietti and ordered the government to “promptly return” the $1 million fine he paid as part of his sentence. “We are grateful to the judge for overturning Mr. Parietti’s conviction, based on his finding that Mr. Parietti is innocent and allowing his conviction to stand would be a profound injustice,” said his lawyer, Larry Krantz. “Justice has now been done.” Parietti was a key witness in the 2018 trial of Matthew Connolly and Gavin Black, who were accused of conspiring to rig the London interbank offered rate for years. But the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals reversed their convictions, finding prosecutors failed to prove they had influenced the bank into making false or misleading submissions. The decision was a setback for the US government’s crackdown on alleged market manipulation. By then, Parietti had already completed his sentence of one day of time served and a period of supervised release. Parietti filed a petition to clear his 2016 guilty plea to conspiracy to commit wire and bank fraud. Engelmayer said Parietti’s plea proceeding included claims by prosecutors that the government had enough evidence to back the charges -- a claim that turned out to be wrong.

“That representation was material to the court’s decision to accept Parietti’s guilty plea, as it likely was to Parietti’s decision to plead guilty,” the judge wrote. “With the circuit based on its close review of the trial proof now having exposed the government’s underlying proof as insufficient to prove that offense, Parietti must be viewed as innocent.” The Justice Department, which didn’t oppose Parietti’s motion, declined to comment. The case is U.S. v Parietti, 16-cr-373, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York.

Abe's security team failed to communicate over lack of protection behind former PM

The on-site commander of the security team for former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was not aware a guard in charge of protecting Abe from behind had moved, National Police Agency officials said Friday. Abe was shot from behind during a campaign speech in Nara on July 8 and confirmed dead later in the day.

A guard made a decision to move another guard who was supposed to be protecting Abe from behind to a different place, but the commander was not notified of the change, the NPA officials said. The officials also said that the security team put excessive focus on dealing with the crowd in front of Abe and failed to pay attention to possible attacks from behind when drawing up security plans. The NPA believes that insufficient security plans and communication failures at the site allowed the 41-year-old suspected shooter, Tetsuya Yamagami, to approach Abe. The agency has been examining flaws in security for Abe. It plans to release this month the outcome of its investigation and issue new measures to prevent any recurrences.

When the shooting took place, there were about a dozen guards at the site, according to the NPA officials. Of them, four guards — one from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and three from the Nara Prefectural Police Department — were inside the space surrounded by guardrails where Abe gave his speech. There were no uniformed police officers in the space. Initially, a member of the prefectural police department was in charge of guarding Abe from behind. The guard, who was stationed on a roadway outside the space surrounded by guardrails, moved before the start of Abe’s speech to deal with the crowd on Abe’s right side, as ordered by another guard. The order was made after the size of the crowd to Abe’s right grew. This change in the security arrangement was not reported to the on-site commander over the radio. Therefore, the commander could not take measures, such as placing another guard to cover the area behind the former prime minister. The NPA also believes that the commander failed to give instructions properly.

Each of the four guards in the space was 2 to 5 meters away from Abe and could not move to protect Abe after the suspect fired the first of two shots. The NPA believes that the commander should have placed guards closer to Abe.
