Treasury Yields Start Month With Jobs-Driven Decline
1542 ET – 1541 – Treasury yields plunge amid dismal U.S. jobs numbers and increasing pressure on the Fed to cut interest rates. Job creation in July is lower-than-expected while previous monthly readings are drastically trimmed by the BLS. Trump threatens to fire the agency's head, Erika McEntarfer, a Biden appointee the president accuses of doctoring the data. Next week will be relatively light on data points and Fedspeak. The 10-year falls 0.142 percentage point to 4.218%, its biggest daily decline since April. It's down 0.167 p.p. for the week. The two-year loses 0.250 p.p. to 3.702%, largest one-day fall in a year, and is down 0.214 p.p. this week. ( @ptrevisani) 0843 ET – U.S. labor data supports calls for monetary easing and Treasury yields fall, along with the dollar. Employers add just 73,000 jobs in July. Economists surveyed by WSJ expected 100,000. Unemployment ticks higher to 4.2% from 4.1%. Previous figures are revised sharply down: May's to 19,000 from 144,000 and June's to 14,000 from 147,000. Before the jobs report, Fed's dissenting governors Waller and Bowman said labor markets showed signs of weakening. Treasury yields had been rising since yesterday's tariffs blitz and tumbled on the jobs data. The 10-year is at 4.295% and the two-year at 3.801%. The WSJ Dollar Index falls 0.7%. ( @ptrevisani)

Unemployed Americans Endure Longer Job Searches in a Cooling Market
Job seekers are out in the cold this summer. Especially the ones who have been hunting for a while. Beyond the headline-grabbing top-line numbers in the jobs report for July was another striking piece of data: The number of people unemployed for at least 27 weeks topped 1.8 million, the highest level since 2017, not counting the pandemic's unemployment surge. The median length of unemployment in the U.S. has also ticked up, from a seasonally adjusted 9.5 weeks in July 2024 to 10.2 weeks last month.

XRP Falls 8% Below $3 After Hitting Resistance, High-Volume Selloff Signals Weakness
What to Know XRP declined 8% over the past 24 hours, falling from a session high of $3.17 to a low of $2.94, as intense sell pressure overwhelmed initial strength. The sharpest drop occurred during the midnight trading window on August 1, when XRP fell 2.7% in a single hour, accompanied by 259.21 million units in volume—nearly 4x its 24-hour average. Despite the downtrend, accumulation signals surfaced during the recovery phase, as XRP rebounded to $2.98. Volume diminished after the initial volatility, suggesting that institutional buyers stepped in to absorb excess supply near key support zones. News Background Whale activity surrounding XRP continues to deliver mixed signals. On one hand, large holders have liquidated roughly $28 million worth of XRP daily over a trailing 90-day period, according to on-chain data. This trend highlights persistent distribution among institutional and early holders. At the same time, over 310 million XRP tokens—valued at nearly $1 billion—have been accumulated during the recent correction phase, as exchange balances fell sharply, signaling sustained capital inflow. Adding to the cross-currents, Maxwell Stein, Director of Digital Assets at BlackRock, confirmed participation at Ripple's Swell 2025 conference, hinting at growing institutional alignment despite recent price pressure. Price Action Summary • High: $3.17 (10:00 UTC, July 31)• Low: $2.94 (00:00 UTC, August 1)• 24h Change: -8%• Hourly Low Point: $3.02 → $2.94 (Midnight drop)• Volume Surge: 259.21M units during correction vs. 64.89M average• Closing Price: $2.98 (marginal recovery into session close) XRP's closing price near $2.98 represents a minor recovery off session lows, but still signals broader structural weakness. Short-term sentiment remains fragile amid liquidation flows and technical breakdowns below the $3.00 threshold. Technical Analysis The $2.94 support zone held firm during multiple intraday tests, reinforced by aggressive dip-buying that allowed prices to reclaim $2.98 by session end. Resistance remains overhead at $3.02–$3.05, with continued rejection likely unless spot inflows pick up. Momentum indicators remain skewed bearish, though recovering volume profiles suggest some exhaustion in the sell-off. What Traders Are Watching • Whether $2.94–$2.95 holds as structural support in the near term• Signs of renewed whale accumulation or a pause in distribution trends• BlackRock's positioning ahead of Ripple Swell 2025 and its implications for future XRP ETF-related narratives• Reaction at the $3.00–$3.05 resistance band, which previously marked key distribution levels
