"While this could be interpreted as evidence of a softening labor market, we would caution against this. They were boosted by a 5,024 jump in California, likely reflecting the technology sector job cuts. Economists, however, did not expect the technology sector layoffs would be a major drag on the labor market and the overall economy. These so-called core capital goods orders decreased 0.8% in September. Shipments of core capital goods jumped 1.3% after dipping 0.1% in September.

☆ EU executive to outline gas price 'correction mechanism' on Friday -sources

BRUSSELS, Nov 10 (Reuters) - The European Commission will propose a gas price "correction mechanism" to the 27 EU states on Friday, a measure aimed at easing price spikes but not the firm cap sought by many countries, according to sources and documents seen by Reuters. The European Union has been in a tug of war over a gas price cap, with a dozen-or-so member countries calling for various versions of such a measure to cut prices amid an acute energy crunch that is driving record-high inflation. But Germany, the bloc's biggest economy, the Netherlands and the EU executive Commission say a cap would risk putting off suppliers and reduce incentives to bring down gas consumption. The Commission told EU countries that a "comprehensive hard" cap on TTF, Europe's main natural gas futures market used as the benchmark price, would all but fail to lower prices while also drawing legal and supply risks, according to an EU diplomat. An EU official said the Commission - at a closed-door meeting with 27 national envoys starting at 0800 GMT on Friday - would outline thinking around a "market correction mechanism" instead, which would amount to "a price corridor" on TTF.

☆ Stocks are being punished more harshly for missing Wall Street’s expectations. What the numbers show

Even the unfortunate roughly 5.3% decline for the S & P 500 in the third quarter belied the 12.8% cratering of equities between Sept. 12 and Sept. 30. October has followed the script, with all the major indices ahead for the month, led by the Dow Jones Industrial Average up nearly 14% and the S & P 500 ahead by about 8%. These stocks imploded about 13% and more than 30%, respectively, in the five days after the companies posted their results. Very little beyond that can move the needle for the S & P 500, but the current quarter has taught us something about market sentiment. Many stocks are oversold, but investors have extremely limited tolerance for disappointing expectations.

☆ Biden’s Antitrust Batters Strike Out

Hard to believe, but the Biden antitrust squad is having a worse season than the Washington Nationals did. The Justice Department recently lost its third merger case in a month. The government traditionally hasn’t gone to court to challenge mergers unless it’s reasonably confident it can win. Justice also usually tries to address competition concerns with conditions on mergers such as asset divestitures. But the Biden Justice Department is choosing litigation first at the risk of striking out, and is it ever.

Oct 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. Treasury Department is asking primary dealers of U.S. Treasuries whether the government should buy back some of its bonds to improve liquidity in the $24 trillion market. The Treasury is also querying whether reduced volatility in the issuance of Treasury bills as a result of buybacks made for cash and maturity management purposes could be a "meaningful benefit for Treasury or investors." But it let that exclusion expire and big banks had to resume holding an extra layer of loss-absorbing capital against Treasuries and central bank deposits. The Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee, a group of banks and investors that advise the government on its funding, has said that Treasury buybacks could enhance market liquidity and dampen swings in Treasury bill issuance and cash balances. The Treasury is posing the questions as part of its regular survey of dealers before each of its quarterly refunding announcements.
