On the news front, the previously released U.S. June ADP employment report showed only 98,000 private-sector jobs added, significantly below the market expectation of 118,000 and a notable deceleration from May's 122,000. ADP's chief economist noted that hiring pace reflects a dual slowdown in both supply and demand. Following the data release, U.S. Treasury yields edged lower and the dollar index retreated, fueling expectations of a Fed rate cut and driving broad strength across the human resources sector.
