Private sector employment in the U.S. increased in August. Private sector employment rose by 38,000 jobs in August after climbing by 46,000 jobs in July. The modest increase in August reflected the slowest pace of job creation since private sector employers added 11,000 jobs in January. The education and health care, construction, and leisure and hospitality sectors all showed solid hiring, while the manufacturing, professional services, and information sectors shed jobs. 09/02/2026 - 09:25:00 (RTTNews)

Italy's producer price inflation accelerated in July to the highest level in nearly three-and-a-half years amid higher energy costs. The producer price index climbed 7.8% year-over-year in July, faster than the 5.8% increase in May. Moreover, this was the highest inflation since February 2023, when prices surged 9.6%. The upturn in inflation was mainly driven by 21.8% higher costs for energy. Prices for intermediate goods increased 5.7%, and those for capital goods rose by 2.4%. Costs for consumer goods moved up 1.0%. Monthly, producer prices rose 2.4% after remaining flat in June. 09/02/2026 - 05:39:00 (RTTNews)

Australia's economy logged growth in the second quarter. Gross domestic product (GDP) grew 2.1% from the previous year. This was slower than the first quarter's 2.5% expansion. Quarterly, GDP growth improved marginally from 0.3% in the prior quarter to 0.4%. The growth was driven by private demand and mining exports.
Household spending grew only 0.4% in the second quarter as higher fuel prices due to the Middle East conflict reduced fuel consumption and travel. At the same time, purchases of vehicles advanced 10.3% as households continued to transition to electric vehicles.
Private business investment declined 0.5%. Exports rose 0.8%, driven by coal, reflecting higher production, following weather disruptions in the March quarter. The increase in exports outpaced the rise in imports, which climbed 0.5%. As a result, net trade contributed 0.1 percentage points to GDP growth.
Last month, the Reserve Bank of Australia left its key interest rate at 4.35% but hinted at tightening if upside risks to inflation materialize. The bank had lifted the policy rate by 25 basis points each in February, March, and May. 09/02/2026 - 03:12:00 (RTTNews)
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand delivered back-to-back rate hikes to contain inflation. The Monetary Policy Committee, governed by Anna Breman, decided to raise the Official Cash Rate by 25 basis points to 2.75%. The bank had lifted the rate by a quarter-point in July, which was the first hike since May 2023.
"The Committee judges that gradually removing monetary stimulus is appropriate to return inflation to the 2% target mid-point while supporting growth and employment," the bank said in a statement. In the June quarter, inflation rose to 4.1%, driven by higher fuel and related prices due to the Middle East conflict. However, excluding vehicle fuels, annual inflation eased to 2.9% in the June quarter. 09/02/2026 - 02:00:00 (RTTNews)
With the economy and inflation evolving broadly, the Bank of Canada (BoC) on Wednesday announced, once again, to leave interest rates unchanged. The Bank of Canada said it decided to maintain its target for the overnight rate at 2.25%, with the Bank Rate at 2.5% and the deposit rate at 2.20%.
The BoC said the upside risks to inflation have increased, while new tariffs make growth prospects more uncertain. The Canadian central bank said its Governing Council will assess the sustainability of the economic rebound and the outlook for inflation and is prepared to adjust monetary policy as needed.
"The Bank remains committed to maintaining Canadians' confidence in price stability through this period of global upheaval," the BoC said. The Bank of Canada's next scheduled date for announcing the overnight rate target is October 28, 2026. 09/02/2026 - 09:58:00 (RTTNews)
