Hong Kong stocks related to new consumption concepts continued to decline, with Laopu Gold (06181.HK) falling more than 7%, Li Auto (02015.HK), XPeng Group (09868.HK), and Xiaomi Group (01810.HK) falling more than 4%, and Pop Mart (09992.HK) falling more than 3%.On June 25th, Investinglive analysts pointed out that Irans warning to ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz to coordinate with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard directly escalated Irans stance on the issue of transit through the Strait of Hormuz, and will immediately push up risk premiums for tanker freight rates and crude oil prices. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warning that ships using unauthorized routes will face penalties is not just rhetoric, but an action statement that gives the Iranian Navy a legal and institutional basis to intercept, board, or seize ships that do not comply with regulations. The mandatory Channel 16 coordination requirement effectively gives Tehran control over information and consent for all ships transiting the strait. For the energy market, the key question is whether this statement is a response to specific alternative routes that the US or Gulf states may propose in the context of normalized shipping after a ceasefire, or whether it represents Irans preemptive defense of its sovereignty before facing pressure to reopen the transit route. Regardless of the interpretation, it is bearish for supply security but bullish for crude oil prices in the near term.According to Japanese sources, the earthquake that struck off the coast of Iwate Prefecture around 10:00 a.m. local time on the 25th has injured at least four people.Market sources indicate that Kioxia plans to list its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) in the United States in April or May next year.On June 25th, to promote the high-quality and standardized development of my countrys computing power token overseas and address common industry challenges such as cross-border compliance, standards systems, and ecosystem collaboration, the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT), in conjunction with several core units across the industry chain, launched the "Computing Power Token Overseas Expansion Ecosystem Plan."

What impact does NFP have on the forex market?

Nonfarm payroll employment is a compiled name for goods, construction and manufacturing companies in the US. It does not include farm workers, private household employees, or non-profit organization employees.

It is an influential statistic and economic indicator released monthly by the United States Department of Labor as part of a comprehensive report on the state of the labor market.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics releases data on the first Friday of the month, at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. 

This data is analyzed closely because of its importance in identifying the rate of economic growth and inflation.

Nonfarm payroll is included in the monthly Employment Situation or informally the jobs report and affects the US dollar, the Foreign exchange market, the bond market, and the stock market.

The markets react very quickly and most of the time in a very volatile fashion around the time the NFP data is released. The short-term market moves indicate that there is a very strong correlation between the NFP data and the strength of the US dollar. Historical price movement data shows a small negative correlation between the NFP data and the US dollar Index.

The figure released is the change in nonfarm payrolls (NFP), compared to the previous month, and is usually between +10,000 and +250,000 during non-recessional times. The NFP number is meant to represent the number of jobs added or lost in the economy over the last month, not including jobs relating to the farming industry.

As with other indicators, the difference between the actual non-farm data and expected figures will determine the overall impact on the market. If the non-farm payroll is expanding, this is a good indication that the economy is growing, and vice versa. However, if increases in non-farm payroll occur at a fast rate, this may lead to an increase in inflation. In forex, the level of actual non-farm payroll compared to payroll estimates is taken very seriously. If the actual data comes in lower than economists' estimates, forex traders will usually sell U.S. dollars in anticipation of a weakening currency. The opposite is true when the data is higher than economists' expectations.
