ASX slides lower as banks, energy stocks weaken

  • The U.S. labor market showed significant weakness in August 2025 as nonfarm payrolls rose by only 22,000 jobs, far below expectations.
  • This soft jobs report followed revisions of prior months and fueled speculation that the Federal Reserve might cut interest rates soon to support the economy.
  • In response, Treasury yields fell, with the 10-year yield dropping below 4.1% and the 2-year yield plunging over 11 basis points to 3.48%, while the dollar index declined 0.7%.
  • Gold prices surged to a new all-time high above $3,600 due to its safe-haven appeal amid falling yields, a weaker dollar, and geopolitical and economic uncertainty.
  • These data and market reactions increased expectations for at least a 25-basis-point Fed rate cut in September and highlighted fractures in the labor market as noted by Fed Governor Christopher Waller.
