Warning Sign? US Job Openings Plunge to 3.5-Year Low as Labor Market Weakens

by

As a seasoned crypto investor with a decade of experience navigating market cycles, I can’t help but feel a sense of deja vu reading about the current economic landscape. The declining job openings and weakening labor market echo the pre-pandemic days, while the tech sector sell-off and the looming September Effect are eerily reminiscent of past market downturns.

As a researcher, I’ve noticed that the number of job openings in the U.S. has dipped to a three-and-a-half-year low in July, falling from 7.91 million in June to 7.67 million. This figure also fell short of expectations, which estimated it at 8.09 million. In simpler terms, the number of job vacancies available didn’t meet our anticipated forecast for that month

As stated by Kobeissi Letter on social media platform X (previously Twitter), since hitting a high point in March 2022, job openings have experienced a significant decrease of approximately 4.51 million or 38%, with the most substantial reduction observed in construction positions

As a crypto investor, I recently experienced a significant setback when tech equities suffered a loss exceeding one trillion dollars in market cap during a single trading day. This was primarily due to a massive sell-off affecting large-cap tech stocks, such as Nvidia (NVDA), which had been soaring on AI growth bets. Regrettably, the market cap of Nvidia plummeted by more than $360 billion, including post-hours trading

Besides Nvidia experiencing a slowdown in growth, two manufacturing activity indicators have consistently shown sluggish activity within the affected sector, which has been impacted by rising interest rates. In the coming days, the U.S. August employment report will be published, potentially causing more market fluctuations since last month’s unexpectedly high unemployment rate resulted in a stock market decline

Notably, according to Investopedia, September is the only calendar month that, over the last 98 years, has recorded negative returns in the stock market, leading to what’s known as the September Effect, which refers to the market’s underperformance during the month.
