πŸš€ Economists Predict Rebound in Employment After Weak July Report

According to Odaily, a Bloomberg survey indicates that economists generally expect a rebound in employment following a weak report in July. The forecast suggests an increase of 165,000 non-farm jobs and a slight decrease in the unemployment rate to 4.2%. The previous month's data showed a significant underperformance, with only 114,000 non-farm jobs added, far below the expected 175,000, and the unemployment rate rising from 4.1% to 4.3%, the highest since October 2021.

If weak employment data continues for a second consecutive month, it may reinforce the market's belief that the Federal Reserve's high-interest rates have been maintained for too long. Currently, the U.S. benchmark interest rate is at its highest level in 23 years, ranging from 5.25% to 5.5%, which could increase the likelihood of an economic recession.

πŸš€ Nobel Laureate Stiglitz Criticizes Fed's Rapid Rate Hikes

According to Odaily, Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz expressed his concerns on Friday at a forum in Cernobbio, Italy, stating that the Federal Reserve has moved 'too far, too fast' with its monetary policy tightening. Stiglitz emphasized that the Fed should consider lowering interest rates by 50 basis points in its upcoming meeting. He criticized the central bank for exacerbating inflation issues through its aggressive rate hikes.

Stiglitz's comments came ahead of the release of the non-farm payroll data for August, which investors are closely monitoring for indications of the Fed's potential rate cut this month. Stiglitz, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2001 for his market analysis, joined JPMorgan's chief U.S. economist in calling for a significant rate cut this month.

πŸš€ Libre Launches Web3 Protocol To Bring Investment Funds To Aptos Network

According to Cointelegraph, infrastructure provider Libre is introducing a new Web3 protocol aimed at bringing investment funds to the Aptos network. The initial funds to be deployed on the Aptos layer-1 include Brevan Howard Master Fund, Hamilton Lane’s Senior Credit Opportunities Fund, and BlackRock’s ICS Money Market Fund, which collectively manage over $91 billion in assets.

Libre, a joint venture between WebN Group and Nomura’s Laser Digital, will act as the core infrastructure for integrating real-world assets (RWAs) on Aptos. Libre’s Gateway DeFi DApps will enable accredited, professional, and institutional investors to access these funds onchain. This initiative follows previous deployments of the same portfolio on the Solana and Near blockchains.

Tokenization, the process of converting real-world assets into digital tokens, allows for fractional ownership and trading on blockchain systems. This method is particularly beneficial in private equity markets, where it enables smaller investors to trade and gain exposure to large, illiquid assets. Data from Dune Analytics indicates that over $1.6 billion in securities had been tokenized as of September 5, with global bank Citi predicting the tokenization market could reach $5 trillion by 2030.

Mo Shaikh, co-founder and CEO of Aptos Labs, highlighted that Libre is leveraging Aptos Ascend, a product developed by Aptos Labs, to deliver new asset classes and financial services. This ensures users benefit from the reliability and sophistication of traditional finance (TradFi) combined with the decentralization and security provided by the Move programming language on Aptos.

The Libre protocol, which went live in the first quarter of 2024, supports asset tokenization and smart contracts on the Polygon network. It also facilitates collateralized lending and automated rebalancing of separately managed accounts (SMAs), and offers crypto-native funds, including Laser Digital’s new Market Neutral Fund.

πŸš€ Morgan Stanley Predicts Market Volatility Due To Employment Data

According to BlockBeats, on September 6, Morgan Stanley's sales and trading department indicated that the accumulation of positions and significant uncertainty regarding the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions could lead to substantial market volatility triggered by employment data.

Morgan Stanley sales and trading experts, including Amanda Levenberg Goldsmith, stated that stock options suggest Friday's employment report will cause significant market movements. They added that such pricing is reasonable because the uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's actions in two weeks is unprecedented, at least in this cycle.

The implied volatility of the S&P 500 index remains lower than the actual volatility, indicating that the stock market is becoming increasingly sensitive to macroeconomic data. Morgan Stanley's sales and trading department noted that options imply the S&P 500 index will fluctuate by 1.1% in either direction on Friday, while ETFs tracking the Russell 2000 and Nasdaq 100 indices suggest fluctuations of 1.84% and 1.37%, respectively.
