Global News
* Tariffs reshaped trade, not jobs U.S. manufacturing employment continues to slide: U.S. manufacturing jobs continued to decline in December despite aggressive tariffs under President Trump that reshaped global trade and generated ~$30 billion a month in revenue, as the promised blue-collar job revival failed to materialize. While the unemployment rate edged down to 4.4%, hiring momentum remains weak, job gains have slowed sharply versus the Biden era, and employment growth is narrowly concentrated in healthcare and AI-linked areas. Manufacturing has lost over 70,000 jobs since April, capacity utilization is at historic lows for many firms, and sentiment among workers has worsened amid high prices and labor-market uncertainty. Overall, the data shows tariffs have altered trade flows but not labor dynamics, highlighting the difficulty of reviving manufacturing employment in a servicesdriven, aging, high-wage U.S. economy.

Global Debt Market:
U.S. Treasury yields rose on Monday as investors reacted to the criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, and looked ahead to key inflation data for the week. At 6:10 a.m. ET, the 10-year Treasury yield was more than 2 basis points higher at 4.195%. The 30-year bond yield moved up more than 3 basis points to 4.856%. On Sunday evening, Fed Chair Powell announced that the Department of Justice was conducting a criminal probe into him, focusing on the $2.5 billion renovation to the central bank’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. However, Powell said in a video statement tweeted by the Fed’s X account, that the investigation was due to President Donald Trump’s frustrations that the Fed refused to cut interest rates based on the president’s demands. “The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President,” Powell said in the video. The Fed cut rates three times in 2025, but will likely hold off on more cuts when policymakers meet at the end of January. He added: “This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation.” On the economic data front, investors are expecting the consumer price index on Tuesday and the producer price index on Wednesday, which will provide crucial insights on the health of the U.S. economy
