Lets start in the us where its been a tumultuous week on the markets following the publication of a series of reports on the state of the Labour Market. On thursday, one of the latest of these reports showed private employers in the us posting their smallest monthly hiring growth since january 2021, with just under 100,000 new positions. On wednesday, government data showed Job Openings dropped to a 3. 5 year low injuly with 7. 67 million vacancies. And later today, all eyes will be on the Monthlyjobs Survey of employers and households. Last month, the Labor Department reported the Unemployment Rate had hit 4. 3 injuly up from 3. 5 a year earlier. This report is one of the most important gauges of the state of The Worlds largest economy and it is coming at a critical time with the president ial campaign under way. So what might be in store . Joining me now is kyle handley, associate professor of economics at the university of california san diego. Every so much apprehension, you just have to look at the market, it is quite volatile at the moment. What is the feeling about this report . I the moment. What is the feeling about this report .

I think a i big part of what is going on is that if we knew for sure we are getting a 25 Basis Point Cut i think they would not be this volatility and if we knew there would be a 50 Basis Point Cut there would not without much volatility but were getting a lot of mixed signals and markets tend not to like that so the weight and try to figure out what is going on so with the see things drift down a bit. What happens Tomorrow Or Today in the uk will depend a lot on whether or not these Jobs Report is good but not too great and also not suggesting that the fed is behind the curve. ,. ,. , curve.

We do not have a Super Weakjob markets but i think the market as a whole is worried that things may be worse than we think there are some of the numbers they came out early this week but if these Jobs Report comes out and says that we added around 165,000 jobs as many expect then i think we will probably look at more a 25 Basis Point Cut rather than 50. I do not think the fed is too far behind the curve just yet. If they do find that things are worse than they think we have to make a 50, that people worried that they have not engineered quite a soft landing as we hoped. fist engineered quite a soft landing as We Horned as we hoped. At the Beginning Ofthe as we hoped. At the beginning of the year as we hoped. At the beginning of the year in as we hoped. At the beginning of the year in a as we hoped. At the beginning of the year in a spring as we hoped. At the beginning of the year in a spring Things L of the year in a spring things were sounding very positive about cuts coming in and then there was this retraction on that. What is actually happening with the us economy . I think what has happened is that inflation has decelerated but much more slowly than people expected it would, certainly now compared to the beginning of the year. Now that we are really period where it looks like inflation is low, the Labour Market is not as hot as it was, you just wonder if we have gone too far in terms of keeping things tight for too long. I think that is a big part of what is going on but for the most part the fed has probably had good luck as well and i think some of what is happening we are worried that the luck has run out and the Monetary Policy tools they have at their disposal will not quite be enough to pull us through this without a bit of an economic downturn, i am not predicting. It an economic downturn, i am not predicting predicting. It could happen. It has been a predicting. It could happen. It has been a long predicting. It could happen.

When that report is released we will bring it to you right here on bbc. Last month when the Jobs Report was published, the weaker than expected figures sparked a global market sell off, with Wall Street suffering its worst day in nearly two years. Today, markets are anxiously waiting for the latest monthly Job Report as it could clarify how fast the us Central Bank will cut Interest Rates at its september meeting. Lets have a look now at the latest State Of Play on the financial markets. I think that picture tells you exactly what is going on. The over and mixed but down and of ice as well. As far as Oil Prices go, they have actually had their worst week in more than a year because of all this volatility. We will bring you the latest on that as the report comes through but certainly one of the next markets you over and is europe and then london to file finally crossing to new york. Lets speak to janet mui, head of Market Analysis at rbc brewin dolphin. A lot of Volatility And Apprehension and markets have got the shivers . Got the shivers . Thank you for havin got the shivers .

Generally speaking china markets have been treating week because the data has been disappointing as of the Property Market is very weak and most from the government. If the us data is weaker than expected, the market would probably sell off later today and the negative sentiment will eventually spill over to the Asia Trading when the day begins.

Staying in the us, and the republican president ial candidate, donald trump, has pledged to cut the corporate Tax Rate and audit the federal government an idea proposed by Billionaire Backer Elon musk. He pitched his agenda to Wall Street and corporate leaders at a Campaign Stop in new york. For more, heres the bbc� s North America Business correspondent, ritika gupta. The main highlight of donald trumps address was a push to cut the corporate Tax Rate to 15 for companies that make their products here in the us. This would be a big reduction from the current rate of 21 . A key Policy Victory from trumps own 2017 Tax Law set to expire in 2025. Now, while a 15 corporate rate would be a big win for large us companies, it would also contribute to rising deficits. It means big companies would end up paying far lower rates than smaller, privately held businesses, where rates can be as high as 37 . His proposal is in stark contrast to his rival, kamala harris, who has called to raise the Corporation Tax to 28 . Trumps proposals also include an idea from tesla ceo Elon Musk to create a Government Efficiency Commission. This would be to eliminate wasteful federal spending a shot at the biden harris administrations spending levels. I will create a Government Efficiency Commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and Performance Audit of the entire federal government, and making recommendations for drastic reforms. We need to do it. Cant go on the way we are now. And elon, because hes not very busy, has agreed to head that task force. This comes as both Trump And Harris are ramping up their efforts to court Swing State voters as well as Business Executives in an election where the economy is a dominant issue. Now lets update you about a mega Takeover Offer involving The Worlds biggest convenience store chain, 7 eleven. Several weeks ago, its Parent Company Injapan received an offer from canadas act but itjust sent its initial response to them. Mariko 0i has been covering the story for us. So, what was their response . Hello can ijust say it feels hello can i ust say it feels like my Life Hello can ijust say it feels like my life currently hello can i just say it feels l like my life currently revolves around these deals. We are talking about the Retailjail And Today and it rejected the offer from act, saying that it undervalues the company. It also call the offer opportunistically tight and i assume the refer to the fact that they are taking advantage of the weakness in the japanese currency which of course makes japanese companies more affordable to foreign buyers. We also now know how much the offer was, 14. 86 us dollars per share, so about a 20 premium when the offer was made but their shares have risen since so it is now treating higher than that offer value. The company said even if the offer was improved significantly, it doubted it would be able to progress because of Competition Regulations in the us. As outside while the company is following the new guidelines the japanese government by being open to it and considering the offer, it is pointing out the hurdles of the deal may face. They were early reports i told you about, trying to defend itself by arguing to the japanese government that it offers services that are vital and crucial to the japanese economy. If the deal was to succeed, it would be the biggest ever buyout of a japanese company by an overseas firm and i do not feel like this will be the last time you and i will be speaking about this deal. And i will be speaking about this deal and i will be speaking about this deal. �. , this deal. Always a pleasure. Thank yon lets get some of the days other news now.

This comes at a time when the chief of the securities and Exchange Board of india has already been mired in allegations of non disclosures and Conflict Of Interest. The bbc� s Archana Shukla reports. Protests against the Market Regulator are unprecedented but complaints were first sent in a letter last month. The regulator On Wednesday issued a Press Release addressing these claims and said grievances were related to employ allowances and are being misguided by external elements to target the credibility of madhabi Puri Buch. A rare step of taking protest. This is not the first head. Madhabi Puri Buch has been the head and is suddenly at the centre of multiple allegations, the biggest being Conflict Of Interest in the adani investigation, accused of Holding State in an adani offshore fund. Her integrity has been questioned due to previous jobs has been questioned due to previousjobs and she has been questioned due to previous jobs and she has has been questioned due to previousjobs and she has been accused of corruption.

The Opposition Parties are demanding an independent probe and with its own stuff at loggerheads, the watchdog has a lot to handle. The way these allegations are addressed by both Regulator And Government will be closely monitored as it could impact the confidence in indias thriving financial market.

Looking back at thursday, some places got to see Blue Skies and sunshine. Gorgeous scenes there in the highlands. Compare that with the heavy downpours that affected not only kent, but many southern counties of england, the southern half of wales as well. Its all because the low pressure is swirling to the south of us. Instead of this area of low pressure moving through and clearing away, it willjust continue to churn around, and that means further outbreaks of rain across southern counties of england, pushing up into the south of wales and the south midlands. Further north, though, yes, some areas of low cloud, mist and fog, which may linger for some northern and eastern coasts. But further north and west, we see a good deal of sunshine, whereas these showers and thunderstorms will continue down towards the south right through into the late afternoon. Just to the north of that band of rain, 25 26 degrees. We could also get to 26 in western scotland, and it is going to feel quite humid. Now through friday night, this band of showers and perhaps still the odd thunderstorm drifting a little bit further northwards. But many spots will be dry with some Mist And Murk, again, some areas of fog. Its going to be another pretty warm and humid night. A humid start to saturday with our area of low pressure still churning to the south. That means there is the chance that well see further outbreaks of rain pushing up from the south across the Channel Islands into southern counties of england as we go through the day. Spots further north after early Mist And Murk clears should see, once again, some spells of warm sunshine, although i think it will stay quite grey for some of these eastern coasts. Again in the sunny spots with that humid air, temperatures could get to around 23 24 degrees. By sunday, it looks like our area of low pressure will start to move northwards. That will introduce outbreaks of rain, particularly across england and wales. Could see some of that into Southern Scotland later on. Some hefty thundery downpours following on into the south. Still quite a warm feel for the time being. That is set to change because as we head into next week, we change the wind direction, we bring the winds down from the northwest, and so things are going to feel very different. Temperatures, if anything, looks set to drop back to values below the average for the time of year, and it will still be quite unsettled. Showers or longer spells of rain and often breezy. Good morning, welcome to breakfast with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today. Tackling the small boats crisis. The Home Secretary holds a summit aimed at destroying the criminal gangs which smuggle people across the channel. Plans for the uk to ban a so called Zombie Drug which its claimed has killed thousands of people in the united states. 0vercrowding, Violence And Self harm.
