U.S. Challenger job-cut report: July layoffs were the lowest monthly total since July 2024 (25,885). Employers have announced 477,033 job cuts year-to-date through July, down 41% from 806,383 in the first seven months of 2025. This is the fifth month this year in which announced layoffs were below the same month a year earlier.

SK Hynix has expanded purchases of South Korea's domestic corporate bonds; credit analysts and market participants estimate this year’s purchases at about 10–40 tln won (~$7–28 bln), with the upper range including commercial paper. A recent job posting for a role to manage, strategize and hedge company funds — including fixed-income investments across government bonds, corporate bonds and short-term debt — signals stepped-up market activity. Cash and cash equivalents stood at 88 tln won at end-Q2, up roughly 62% QoQ; despite higher capex, investable cash continues to accumulate, providing an incremental source of demand in a market usually dominated by institutional investors.
