JGBs Fall on Japan's Fiscal Worries Ahead of Upcoming Election

0010 GMT — JGBs fall in price terms in the morning Tokyo session on Japan's fiscal worries ahead of the Upper House election on July 20. Regardless of the election's results, JPMorgan sees two key takeaways emerging. First, uncertainty about the consumption tax cut debate will probably continue, two members of JPMorgan's Japan Fixed Income Strategy say in a note. Second, the risk balance is tilted toward larger fiscal spending, the members say. 'The true significance lies in the perception of unrestrained fiscal discipline,' the members add. The 10-year JGB yield rises 3bps to 1.530%. (

AI Is Already Showing Signs of Slashing Job Openings in the UK

(Bloomberg) -- UK businesses are dialing back hiring for jobs that are likely to be affected by the rollout of artificial intelligence, a study found, suggesting the new technology is accentuating a slowdown in the nation's labor market. Why Did Cars Get So Hard to See Out Of? How German Cities Are Rethinking Women's Safety — With Taxis Philadelphia Reaches Pact With Workers to End Garbage Strike Job vacancies have declined across the board in the UK as employers cut costs in the face of sluggish growth and high borrowing rates, with the overall number of online job postings down 31% in the three months to May compared with the same period in 2022, a McKinsey & Co. analysis found. But it has been the most acute for occupations expected to be significantly altered by AI: Postings for such jobs — like white-collar ones in tech or finance — dropped 38%, almost twice the decline seen elsewhere, according to the consulting firm. 'The anticipation of significant – albeit uncertain – future productivity gains, especially as the technology and its applications mature, is prompting companies to review their workforce strategies and pause aspects of their recruitment,' said Tera Allas, a senior adviser at McKinsey. The trend appears to be exerting another drag on the UK job market just as tax increases prompt cuts in lower-skilled sectors like retail and hospitality and the pace of economic growth stalls. Occupations considered to be highly exposed to AI — meaning the technology can replace at least some of the tasks involved — have recorded the sharpest contractions in vacancies, McKinsey's analysis showed. Demand for jobs such as programmers, management consultants or graphic designers fell more than 50% over the last three years. Some of that may also be due to industry-specific issues and a challenging macroeconomic backdrop. But McKinsey said in some sectors, like professional services and information technology, the number of job openings dropped even as businesses reported healthy growth rates. Data shared by job-search website Indeed also indicated early signs that AI is affecting hiring decisions. It showed that employers tend to cut hiring in fields that involve building or using AI tools, according to Pawel Adrjan, director of EMEA economic research at the Indeed Hiring Lab. For example, vacancies in mathematics, which mainly consist of data science and analytics roles, had the highest share of AI mentions in job descriptions but are down almost 50% from pre-pandemic levels, Indeed figures showed. At the other end of the spectrum, real estate or education jobs that barely mention the technology grew over the period. Some entry-level jobs involving tasks like summarizing meetings or sifting through documents are particularly exposed to AI, accelerating a decline in such roles as companies streamline headcount costs. Entry-level postings, which include apprenticeships, internships or junior jobs with no degree requirements, have fallen by almost a third since ChatGPT came to market at the end of 2022, according to data from job-search website Adzuna. 'The rapid rise of artificial intelligence is adding pressure on young jobseekers, who are still in the grip of the Covid aftermath, marked by inflation, economic headwinds, and low business confidence,' said James Neave, head of data science at Adzuna.

Government needs to overhaul ‘unfair' business rates, says Greene King boss

The boss of pub giant Greene King has said the Government needs to overhaul business rates for the sector amid rising closures across the UK. Nick Mackenzie, boss of the 1,500-strong pub firm, said reduced property tax payments were needed to drive investment and new jobs after swallowing recent cost hikes. It comes days after figures from the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) pointed towards a surge in pub closures due to heightened financial pressures. The body estimated that 378 pubs will close this year across England, Wales and Scotland after increased stress on the industry so far this year. It said this would amount to more than 5,600 direct job losses. Industry bosses have said easing business rates could help support some pub businesses currently at threat of future closure. Mr Mackenzie said the current system of business rates is 'unfair' on the sector, focusing on revenues rather than profitability, which has heavily diminished across pubs in recent years amid sharp increases in operating costs. 'Pubs are going to be around for the long term, but we need to address the unfairness in the system to allow them to flourish,' he said. 'It isn't fair that the sector has 0.4% of the rateable property but pay 2.1% of the bills. 'The sector is a massive employer and incredibly important for local communities, so we just feel it is important to underline how beneficial it is to tax pubs fairly.' Greene King is among pub firms to have said recent cost increases, such as the rise in National Insurance contributions and the higher national minimum wage, have caused them to pull back on some investment plans. Mr Mackenzie said Greene King would secure £13.7 million in annual savings to be invested in its pubs with reforms to business rates. The firm is asking Chancellor Rachel Reeves to introduce a specific, lower business rates multiplier for all pubs at the Autumn Budget, giving them a 20p discount on their current rate. It is also asking the Government to change how the Valuation Office Agency calculates the rateable value of a pub at the 2026 revaluation. The Labour Government has previously said it plans to reform business rates to 'create a fairer system'. It came as the company released its Growth on Tap report on reforming tax policy in the sector, which highlighted that its pubs are facing significant business rate increases due to a recent reduction in discounts for the sector. 'The Government has made growth its number one priority, and the Chancellor now has the opportunity to make changes that will immediately unlock millions of pounds to do just this,' Mr Mackenzie said. 'We will be able to go even further and faster with our investments – creating new jobs, refurbishing pubs and breathing life back into communities up and down the country.'
