The sharp slowdown in U.S. job growth in June prompted traders to lower their expectations for a near-term Fed rate hike, with the market now pricing in a 52% chance of a rate hike at the September meeting, down from 64% the previous trading day. U.S. Treasury yields also retreated from earlier highs, with the two-year Treasury yield ending a three-day winning streak. "Marginally, this data is dovish, helping to ease concerns about an overheated labor market and the need for more aggressive policy tightening," said Sim Moh Siong, FX strategist at OCBC Bank. However, he added that as long as expectations of Fed tightening remain unchanged, the overall outlook for the dollar remains constructive, especially against lower-yielding currencies.

UK Government: Cryptoassets Could Be Seized to Stop Crime

The British government suggested on Thursday that crypto assets might be confiscated to help battle economic crime, but the plan fell short of the drastic change demanded by legislators, who want an unified crime-fighting agency.


Scams involving banking and the internet have increased dramatically in the United Kingdom, especially after the COVID-19 outbreak.


In response to a parliamentary investigation into economic crime, the administration said that it would introduce laws to allow cryptoassets to be confiscated and recovered more rapidly as soon as legislative time permits.


"In particular, (we propose) the development of a civil forfeiture authority to limit the danger presented by people who cannot be punished but use their wealth to continue crime," the government told the Treasury Select Committee in parliament.


The panel proposed creating a single organization to combat economic crime to replace a "bewildering" multitude of institutions, but the administration insisted that its multi-agency system was the best.


"It allows us to discriminate between various sorts of criminality," the government stated, adding that public-sector fraud required a different reaction than schemes perpetrated by individuals or corporations.


In a statement, TSC Chair Mel Stride stated, "This might be a big squandered opportunity."


The government has already endorsed a suggestion that requires internet platforms like as Google and Facebook to take aggressive steps to combat fraudulent financial product advertising, but the law will take time to adopt and execute.


"Now is the time for online platforms to step up and take down these fake ads," Stride added.


Google has already pledged to only accept financial advertisements from organizations that are authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority, and Facebook owner Meta is expected to follow suit later this year.


The investigation advised that internet platforms be required to assist clients who have been scammed, a measure that the government is considering.


"We're working together with technology firms, law enforcement, and civil society partners to investigate all options for assisting victims of online fraud and mitigating the damage they've suffered," the government stated.
