US plans tariffs on 60 trading partners over forced labour concerns
x/donald-john-trump
— Jul 23, 2026
President Trump’s administration announced new 10% to 12.5% tariffs on 60 trading partners, covering about 99% of US imports, in a move tied to alleged weaknesses in enforcing forced-labor bans and replacing temporary duties that expire this week. Officials pitched the measures as a broad, labor-rights–focused escalation under Section 301, with exemptions and ongoing related investigations into other trade practices.

U.S. Employers Add 162,000 Jobs in August
Finance
— 4d
Private US employers added 38,000 jobs in August, the slowest pace since January and below expectations, with gains led by education and health services and leisure/hospitality while manufacturing payrolls fell. Pay growth remained modest, and hiring was driven largely by large firms, signaling ongoing but choppy labor-market momentum amid inflation and demographic pressures.

Citi delays Fed rate-cut forecast to 2027 after strong jobs data
x/federal-reserve-system
— 2d
Citigroup now expects the Federal Reserve to begin easing in June 2027 with three 25-basis-point cuts in June, September, and December 2027, after August payrolls rose 162,000 and the unemployment rate held at 4.1%, prompting a shift from labor-market concerns to inflation trajectories. The forecast contrasts with a broader market that still frets about inflation, keeping Citi's outlook notably dovish relative to peers who are more tilted toward earlier hikes or prolonged tight monetary policy.

MLB continues to push a sweeping set of CBA proposals, including strict offseason transaction windows that would cap free-agent signings and trades, weekly roster moves, a 14-pitcher limit, and revised injured-list and option rules, all framed around a salary-cap/floor system.

Champagne producers in Hautvillers are harvesting for the earliest record, starting around mid-August due to extreme heat, frost and drought that accelerated ripening and trimmed yields, with some growers noting about a 10% crop loss but maintained quality. The milestone harvest reflects a broader climate-changed trend across France (and parts of Italy), driving the push for new grape varieties, advanced production methods, and labor-intensive logistics to preserve quality as earlier picking becomes more common.
