On September 5th, stronger-than-expected US August jobs data triggered renewed bets on a possible Federal Reserve rate hike, but Wall Street risk assets did not show significant panic. Data showed increased resilience in the job market, leading traders to raise their expectations for a rate hike at the Feds September 16th meeting. US Treasuries experienced a sell-off, the dollar strengthened, and the S&P 500 fell on Friday but still recorded a weekly gain. Unlike previous rate hikes that often triggered capital outflows, this round of bond market adjustments has not yet spread to other risk assets. Credit spreads remain low, limiting pressure on corporate bonds and stock index markets. JPMorgan Chase stated that US Treasury liquidity has deteriorated significantly, but corporate bond ETFs and stock index futures markets have not yet experienced similar tension. Market resilience mainly stems from economic growth and corporate profits, especially as AI investment continues to drive large-scale capital expenditures by technology companies. Analysts point out that the market is currently more focused on whether yields will rise rapidly than on the jobs data itself. The market focus will shift to inflation data and whether the Fed will reconsider its rate hike path due to inflationary pressures. If yields rise further rapidly, it could force investors to reduce their risk exposure.US officials: The White House has no plans to hold an artificial intelligence meeting in mid-September.OpenAI CEO Altman: GPT-6 Astra is now available to all Pro, Enterprise, and Business Premium users and is available via API.

Electrek: Tesla's China Chief Tom Zhu Takes Over North American Sales

Tom Zhu, president of China for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Inc, has assumed responsibility for sales, service, and delivery in North America, the Electrek website reported on Monday, citing persons familiar with the matter.


According to a post on the U.S. website devoted to news on electric mobility and sustainable energy, Zhu's formal title remains vice president in charge of Asia/Pacific.


Tesla did not immediately respond to Reuters's written requests for comment.


Reuters reported last month that Zhu and his team from Shanghai have been visiting Tesla operations in California and Texas, causing colleagues to speculate that he is being groomed for a larger job at a time when chief executive Elon Musk has been focused on his purchase of Twitter.


Under Zhu's direction, Tesla Shanghai returned strongly from lockdowns this year, bringing Tesla close to its 2022 production growth objective of 50 percent.


The company reported record production and deliveries for electric vehicles in the fourth quarter on Monday, but it missed Wall Street's predictions due to logistical difficulties, sluggish demand, rising interest rates, and fears of a recession.


Tesla's stock had its worst year since it went public in 2010 in 2022.
