September 6th - According to a CNBC report, data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday showed that of the 162,000 jobs added that month, women accounted for 158,000, or 98%. Men accounted for the remaining 4,000 net job gains, meaning they contributed almost 40 times less to overall job growth. The nonprofit Economic Security Project first pointed out this anomaly in Fridays data. Laura Ullrich, director of economic research at Indeed Recruiting Lab, said that with the release of Fridays nonfarm payroll report, the gap between women and men in employment has climbed to unprecedented levels. "We are in the midst of a transformation," Ullrich said. "This change is happening right before our eyes."September 6th - According to the Ministry of Water Resources, this morning (September 6th), the Ministry held a rolling consultation meeting to analyze and assess the national rainfall and flood situation and to arrange and deploy key defense work.

The peak of the first flood of the Ganjiang River in Jiangxi has passed the Zhangshu section, and it is expected that the entire main stream of the Ganjiang River will recede below the warning level within the next 24 hours.September 6th - Earlier today, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced the release of previously undisclosed surveillance footage and videos of actions against vessels violating regulations.

The USD/CAD exchange rate is unchanged on the day after a succession of negative impulses drove the price into new territory to the downside and deeper into a support region as a result of the oil price rally. The USD/CAD exchange rate was 1.3431 at the time of writing.

 

Monday's 6.3% rise in West Texas Intermediate WTI crude oil to an intraday high of $81.51 strengthened the CAD. The oil price surged after the OPEC+ cartel surprised the market with a production cut of 1.1 million barrels per day to support prices, with the cartel announcing that it will reduce output prior to Monday's ministerial meeting.

 

Analysts at TD Securities observed that the Bank of Canada's Business/Consumer Surveys painted a more dovish picture ahead of the April BoC meeting, with a marked improvement in capacity pressures and consumer inflation expectations.

 

Analysts noted that firm-level inflation expectations continue to be elevated and that consumer growth and income expectations have also increased since the fourth quarter.

 

''The Bank of Canada should be pleased with these results, which indicate a decline in capacity pressures and a moderation in inflationary pressures. However, inflation expectations remain a formidable impediment to near-term relief. If growth does not decelerate substantially in the second quarter, it may be difficult for the Bank of Canada to keep rates at 4.50 percent. Analysts believe that the report is optimistic for CAD.
