CITIGROUP's Australia and New Zealand chief economist Josh Williamson expects Australia to add about 20,000 jobs in June, reflecting a seasonal slowdown after strong May payrolls. With the participation rate seen roughly steady, the unemployment rate should tick down to around 4.3%. Williamson said CITIGROUP's employment forecast is skewed to the downside due to weak productivity, a low potential growth backdrop and elevated inflation.

Gabriel Perez, the White House technical aide who operated Trump’s teleprompter since 2016, is alleged to have used advance access to speech text to place prediction-market wagers on which words Trump would use, netting over $100,000 from bets on more than a dozen speeches. Prediction-market operators flagged the trading to the CFTC; investigators say Perez sometimes exited bets when Trump deviated from scripts. Perez is negotiating a potential settlement with regulators that could include disgorgement and a commitment to stop such trading; the U.S. Attorney in Manhattan declined to open a criminal probe. The White House says it is cooperating with the CFTC.
