US yields reverse course to trade lower ahead of Fed, trade talks
Investors brace for Fed meeting, tariff deadline Labor market update, GDP data on deck next week Treasury refunding announcement could move bond market (Adds context, graphic, analyst comments; updates yields) NEW YORK, July 25 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury prices rose on Friday in a subdued trading session, as investors prepared for a data-heavy week, updates on U.S. trade talks and a Federal Reserve policy meeting. The U.S. central bank is expected to leave interest rates unchanged at its rate-setting meeting next week, but all eyes will be on Fed Chair Jerome Powell's remarks, as investors look for clues on whether rate cuts are on the horizon this year. A U.S. trade deal with Japan this week and expectations of a similar agreement with the European Union have eased market concerns ahead of President Donald Trump's August 1 tariff deadline, as the prospect of lower-than-feared import duties is largely seen as softening their economic impact. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will meet Trump on Sunday in Scotland, after EU officials and diplomats said they expected to reach a framework trade deal this weekend. Treasury yields, which move inversely to prices, were drifting higher earlier on Friday but changed direction over the course of the trading session, with no clear driver. "This week is one of those sleepy summer weeks that has very little to move Treasuries one way or the other and I think that's why you're seeing this slow move lower in yields," said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B Riley Wealth. On the U.S. economic front, the only data release on Friday was the preliminary June reading of Durable Goods Orders, which came in better than forecast, even though new orders for key U.S.-manufactured capital goods unexpectedly fell in June, the Commerce Department's Census Bureau said. With fresh catalysts in short supply, the market earlier on Friday took its lead from Thursday's European Central Bank meeting, where policymakers kept interest rates steady and delivered a cautiously optimistic outlook on the economy, dimming hopes for further easing this year. "The ECB was nowhere as dovish as people expected and macro data hasn't been bad to say the least," said Slawomir Soroczynski, head of fixed income at Crown Agents Investment Management in London. Market risk appetite has remained intact despite Tesla's disappointing financial results earlier this week, added Soroczynski. U.S. stocks rose on Friday following record closes for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq on Thursday. Trump clashed with Powell during a rare presidential visit to the U.S. central bank on Thursday, but said he did not intend to fire him, as he has frequently suggested he would. On Friday, he said he got the impression that the head of the U.S. central bank might be ready to lower interest rates. Benchmark 10-year Treasury yields declined by two basis points to 4.388%. Two-year yields, which more closely reflect expectations on monetary policy, were only marginally lower at 3.917%. Bond investors will get an update next week from the Treasury Department on its quarterly issuance plans. Analysts expect no changes to the auction sizes of notes and bonds at the July 30 refunding announcement, with the Treasury relying more heavily on Treasury bills to fund government budget deficits. However, the Treasury could expand the scope of its buyback program, which could be supportive for the long end of the Treasury yield curve. "If (Treasury Secretary Scott) Bessent doesn't meet the market's expectations for growing buybacks, a sharp selloff in Treasuries could ensue," said Ian Lyngen, an analyst at BMO Capital Markets, in a note. On deck next week, in addition to the Fed's meeting, there will also be second-quarter gross domestic product data and July Non-Farm Payrolls.

The A-Line Bob Is the Chicest Way to Cut Your Hair Without Losing Length
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. The A-line bob is one of the most iconic haircuts of all time; think Victoria Beckham, Keira Knightley, Taylor Swift—or more recently, Naomi Watts, Lily Collins, and Zendaya. It's a graphic and striking cut, and the ultimate hairstyle statement. However, with tousled cuts like the French bob having taken a backseat in recent years, the A-line bob now runs the risk of looking slightly dated. In turn, it requires an expert eye to translate the style for 2025, taking it from a 2000s cool-girl hairstyle for the history books and turning it into a fresh, eye-catching modern cut. Luckily, we enlisted the help of in-salon experts to break down the need-to-know details of the A-line bob, including how to cut and style it with a contemporary allure. Here's what they said. The A-line bob is a nostalgic and instantly recognizable cut, not too dissimilar to the coveted graduated bob. It's angular, sharp, and has a timeless appeal. 'An A-line bob is an angular short haircut a little longer at the front than the back,' explains Jake Schaverien, stylist at Hari's South Kensington. 'It can suit almost anyone and can be contouring for some as long as it is kept well below the jawline. However, it can also drag the face down on longer, more oval face shapes.' The good news is, the A-line bob is generally a very adaptable haircut, and it can be flattering across many face shapes and hair types as long as it's curated to you. "You would just determine the length with your stylist best suited for your face shape," says Molly Newell, creative stylist at the Neil Moodie Studio. The process of cutting an A-line bob is a fairly straightforward one, but always one that's best left to the professionals given its sharp, graphic angle. 'For an A-line bob, you cut as you would a normal bob; however, instead of creating a blunt line, you would graduate the nape area and create a round shape,' explains Newell. Be sure to take reference images to your stylist, too. It's a great way of creating a visual representation of the shape, length, and angle you want to replicate; it can then be tweaked to fit your own facial anatomy. As with many other crisp, angular bobs, your styling options are plentiful. 'Styling an A-line bob can be easy for different textured hair. Both natural curls and straight hair work for the look,' says Schaverien. 'You could also use a tong to create soft waves for a carefree and playful look. If you mean business, then a super sleek finish with your straighteners will look super professional.' It's important to ask your stylist to cut your A-line bob according to your everyday hair routine, says Newell. 'For smooth and straight, I recommend styling using the Davines Oi All in One Milk, layered with their Volume Boosting Mousse. Use a classic Denman brush with the Dyson Supersonic R dryer to blow-dry straight. For a more playful wave, prep with the same products but either diffuse-dry or blow-dry with a large round bristle brush, then curl using a GHD curling iron.' From: ELLE UK

I nabbed 7 outfits for £74 from TikTok Shop including a dress perfect for brunch, a summer co-ord & trousers for work
You'll be shocked when you see the price tag of my new graphic tee WARDROBE WIN I nabbed 7 outfits for £74 from TikTok Shop including a dress perfect for brunch, a summer co-ord & trousers for work Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TIKTOK Shop is a very dangerous place for me - it's somewhere I find myself endlessly scrolling until silly o'clock in the morning numerous nights a week. There's endless options of things you definitely (don't) need to buy - from cute phone cases and jewellery, to homeware and even handy cleaning gadgets. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 9 Here, Abby Wilson shares her honest thoughts on the seven outfits she nabbed from TikTok Shop Credit: Abigail Wilson 9 You can buy a range of products on TikTok shop Credit: Alamy But that's not all, as there's also clothes galore and if you're a shopaholic like me, it soon becomes incredibly hard to resist. While many have previously shared concerns on the safety of TikTok Shop as a result of the remarkably cheap prices, I can safely say that thankfully, it's not too good to be true and I have never had an issue - and you don't even want to see how huge my order history is. Around 2.8 million UK consumers made a purchase through TikTok's e-commerce feature back in 2023, the year of its official launch in the UK. And not only is everything really affordable, but it arrives pretty quickly too. While delivery tends to be much quicker than that of Shein and Temu, it's often somewhere I spent money on stuff that's further clogging up my drawers. But with summer finally here and the weather heating up, rather than adding another new bag or a fifth necklace to my collection, I decided to order myself a weeks' worth of clothes. I spent £74.38 on seven items, which works out at just £10.62 each. Abby Not only did I get my hands on a dress that's perfect for brunch with the girls, but I even nabbed a frock that's great for summer. But that's not all, as I also got a pair of trousers that are super comfy and a T-shirt that looks so much more expensive than it actually was. So if you fancy giving your wardrobe an upgrade but are on a budget and don't have loads of cash to splash, you'll need to take notes and listen to my honest reviews... 6 Essential Safety Tips for Online Shoppers Loving leopard With a brunch booked in the diary with the girls, I was desperate to find a dress that was not only flattering, but bloat friendly. 9 This leopard print dress is a real winner Credit: Abigail Wilson And thankfully, TikTok Shop answered my prayers with this Leopard Print Ruched Bodycon Dress, which cost me just £14.05. Not only was I overjoyed with the price tag, but when it arrived, I was thrilled to know that it's perfect for bloated days. Thanks to the ruched material and loud print, this frock is great at hiding my belly after guzzling numerous glasses of Prosecco and quickly scoffing a burger and fries. To top it off, I got numerous compliments on this dress and for under £15, I think it's a real bargain. Colour of the season After Pantone labelled Mocha Mousse the trending color for 2025, I was eager to find a brown dress that would be great for warm days. 9 This frock is short but great for chucking on on warm days Credit: Abigail Wilson And while this Plain Deep V Neck Sleeveless Dress might not be the best quality, for just £11.04, beggars can't be choosers. I'd seen numerous influencers rave about this dress, which is available in multiple colours, and now it's sure to be a staple in my wardrobe this summer. For hot days when you need something to throw on and feel cool, this is a real winner Abby Wilson I'll admit it's made using quite a cheap material and it's also very short, so I can't say I'll be bending down in it any time soon. But for hot days when you need something to throw on and feel cool, this is a real winner. Colour coordinated Shoppers are sure to have spotted co-ords in countless high street stores, so it's no surprise that TikTok Shop has also jumped on the trend. 9 For a chic co-ord, you'll need to check out TikTok Shop Credit: Abigail Wilson I've spent ages searching for a co-ord that's not only smart, but affordable too, and luckily, I won't need to look any further. For only £15.94, I nabbed this Tank Top and Wide Leg Shorts Two-Piece Set, which is super reasonable for the style of this look. TikTok's top tips, tricks and trends TikTok is one of the world's most downloaded apps with millions uploading videos everyday. But what are the best tricks and trends on it? Who has the most followers on TikTok? How to reverse a TikTok after recording it How to go live on TikTok How to see your TikTok watch history What is the most viewed TikTok? What does ratio mean on TikTok? What is TikTok's blackout challenge? What is the meaning of DTB on TikTok? What does KMT mean on TikTok? What is the meaning of CNC on TikTok? What was the viral vanilla flavouring TikTok trend? The top is slightly too big for me, so I may get it altered, but the tailored shorts are super cute. This look is spot on for a day in the office (if shorts are acceptable in your workplace) when styled with pumps or slingbacks, or even for a boozy day in a pub garden with a pair of wedges. Style in sync And while the smart co-ord is a winner for me, this Contrast Binding Tank Top and Wide Leg Pants Set left me with mixed reviews. 9 These trousers left me with mixed reviews Credit: Abigail Wilson It was only £10.57, so thankfully it didn't break the bank, but the trousers have left me scratching my head. The top is super flattering and will be great when paired with shorts on a warm day, but the trousers make my bum look even flatter than it already is. Yes, they're really comfy, so will be good for chilling around the house, but the on-trend contrast binding makes it look as though I'm wearing a nappy. They'll be fine when paired with an oversized tee, but I'll definitely have to wear a shirt over the top of these trousers to wear them to work. Stripe hype I'm a huge fan of stripes and this Striped Print Side Split Hem Tank Dress didn't let me down. 9 But this dress had me beaming Credit: Abigail Wilson It's super flattering and was only £7.30 which is a real steal. Not only does it make my bum look bigger than it is, but it's versatile too. I'll be wearing it to the office, to the shops and probably even for days to the beach. Whilst it'll look great paired with trainers for a cool, casual look, it's also sure to impress with sandals too. Get graphic The early noughties were arguably the golden age of graphic tees, but it appears that this year, they are proving to be a real hit. 9 Graphic tees are super cheap on TikTok Shop Credit: Abigail Wilson Celebrities and designers alike are capitalising on the trend, with bold T-shirts available not only in the likes of H&M and Primark, but also in Tesco and Sainsbury's too. And this Lemon Print Round Neck Tee is a real winner - and that's not just because of its impressive £5.86 price tag. Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks. I absolutely love the oversized fit and super (unbelievably) soft material, which came at a huge surprise considering how price-friendly it is. The vibrant colours are sure to turn heads and it's quickly going down a huge treat, as I've already worn it twice in just one week. Vest dressed Thankfully, celebrities such as Cara Delevingne and Kate Middleton made sweater vests cool again and while they're typically worn in autumn months, this Button Sweater Vest is a new staple in my summer wardrobe. 9 And this sweater vest is super versatile Credit: Abigail Wilson It's perfect for days in the office and is great quality. Not only is it versatile and perfect for layering on overcast days, but at just £9.62, it's great value for money. Lots of brands and retailers do flash deals or sales that are exclusive to TikTok in the hope of attracting customers and going viral Which? Spokesperson I've already got plans to wear it on balmy nights in the garden with shorts or a denim skirt and my work colleagues can also expect to see it super soon. And with very similar styles available from Reiss for £98, I'm pleased to have saved myself an impressive £88.38 with this TikTok buy. So…why are products on TikTok Shop so cheap? But if you're sitting there wondering why products on TikTok Shop come at a decent price, here's the deal. The bargain prices are largely due to customers often being offered discount codes on purchases, which is particularly the case with new shoppers. It has also been reported that TikTok charges a smaller commission rate than other sites which some sellers pass onto their customers. TikTok also charges a lower commission rate than Amazon and eBay and some sellers pass this saving onto their customers Which? Spokesperson A spokesperson from Which? said: "This is partly because the social media app funds promotions to lure in customers and boost new sellers' sales. "New customers are offered special deals, coupons and free delivery on their first order. It's also a marketing tactic: users often post videos about their amazing bargains. "TikTok also charges a lower commission rate than Amazon and eBay and some sellers pass this saving onto their customers.
