During the pandemic, an additional 1.7 million Americans retired earlier than what would have been expected during the normal times, according to a recent report.

Shares of e-commerce service provider BigCommerce Holdings (NASDAQ: BIGC) were down 12.1% headed into Friday’s close, largely in response to last quarter’s disappointing results. BigCommerce shares had spent the past three months recovering from a sell-off spurred by the previous quarter’s similarly lackluster numbers, climbing nearly 67% from May’s low to yesterday’s close.

A positive jobs report drove U.S. stocks modestly higher Friday, but a parallel rise in Treasury yields signaled a downside: the good news could push the Federal Reserve to curtail its massive stimulus policies faster then expected. “It’s a number that’s hard to say anything but positive things about,” said Sameer Samana, a market strategist at Wells Fargo Investment Institute in St. Louis. Some investors believe the robust jobs numbers could support the view that the Fed, faced with rising inflation and strong growth, may need to unwind its ultra-easy monetary policies sooner than expected.

The meme stock movement took a new turn this week after the Robinhood Markets (NASDAQ: HOOD) brokerage app went public through an initial public offering late last week. As many in the investment community can recall, during the retail investor trading frenzy earlier this year that caused GameStop (NYSE: GME) and AMC Entertainment Holdings (NYSE: AMC) stocks to soar, Robinhood’s platform was overwhelmed, and it needed to restrict buying on some of these names. The trading activity expanded to other heavily shorted stocks, or stocks popular in social media, including fitness and health drink maker Celsius Holdings (NASDAQ: CELH), and the meme stock was born.

A better-than-expected jobs report for July shows the economy may soon be ready to run with reduced support from the Federal Reserve.

UBS Global Wealth Management is betting on a reflation trade in the United States and globally linked to economic reopening as the world emerges from the COVID-19 Delta variant, Mark Haefele, chief investment officer at the world’s largest wealth manager, said. “Not all of the inflation is going to go back to deflationary levels,” Haefele told the Reuters Global Markets Forum on Thursday, adding that he was bullish on equities, specifically the energy and financials sectors, along with Japan. Haefele, whose firm manages $3.2 trillion in assets, said he didn’t think there was a bubble in the equity markets, and expected the S&P 500 moving “modestly higher” from current levels, supported by strong earnings and as long as the U.S. Federal Reserve continued providing monetary support.

Federal Reserve Vice Chair Richard Clarida laid the groundwork for dollar gains by suggesting this week conditions for hiking interest rates might be met as soon as late 2022. “This (jobs) number and the next one are going to be quite key to the Fed’s decision,” said Shafali Sachdev, head of foreign exchange in Asia at BNP Paribas Wealth Management. Forecasts for jobs created last month vary widely, from about 350,000 to 1.6 million, but the consensus figure is 870,000 and traders think a number that size or larger would lift the dollar while something below 650,000 might hurt it.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has repatriated $452 million in misappropriated funds from 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), it said in a statement on Thursday, bringing the total amount recovered from the corruption scandal to $1.2 billion. The funds, which were repatriated to Malaysia, had been laundered through major financial institutions worldwide, including in the United States, Switzerland, Singapore, and Luxembourg, the statement said.

U.S. job growth likely remained robust in July amid shifts in seasonal employment at schools caused by the pandemic, which could mask some softening in underlying labor market conditions as the boost from fiscal stimulus and the economy’s reopening fades. The Labor Department’s closely watched employment report on Friday could show nonfarm payrolls surging by at least 1 million last month because of the so-called seasonal adjustment factors, which are also seen inflating employment at auto assembly plants and in the leisure and hospitality sector. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, education employment normally declined by about 1 million jobs in July as schools closed, while temporary plant shutdowns for summer retooling weighed on automobile payrolls.
