data. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics , the economy added over 528k jobs in July, a strong surprise since analysts were expecting it to add just 225k jobs. It was also better than the adjusted 392k jobs that were created in June.
Additional data revealed that the unemployment rate dropped from 3.6% to 3.5% in July. This decline was equally better than what analysts were expecting.

Data published in July showed that America’s inflation rose to a multi-decade high of 9.1% in June. The next major catalyst for the pair will be the upcoming US inflation numbers scheduled for Wednesday. Economists expect the data to show that the country’s inflation fell from 9.1% to 8.7% on a year-on-year basis. They also believe that it dropped from 1.3% to 0.2% on a month-on-month basis as the price of gasoline dropped. Still, inflation remains significantly above the bank’s target of 2.0%.
