高盛認爲，美國勞動力市場仍處於供需平衡狀態：由十項就業指標構成的閒置程度追蹤器，比上一輪經濟週期後期高約1個百分點；工資增速也低於其估算的、與2%通脹相匹配的水平。 最新官方數據提供了相似信號。美國8月失業率維持4.1%，平均時薪同比增長3.1%；儘管當月新增就業反彈至16.2萬人，過去12個月的月均增幅仍只有3.1萬人。 7月工業產能利用率爲76.3%，較1972—2025年長期均值低3.1個百分點，製造業利用率也低於長期均值。因此，當前尚未出現工資與產能共同緊張的全面過熱。

Japan's FX reserves posted a record monthly decline in August after Tokyo launched a fresh, large-scale dollar-selling/yen-buying intervention to counter yen weakness, the Finance Ministry said. Reserves fell to $1.208 tln at end-August from $1.287 tln a month earlier, a record drop of $79.6 bln, or 6.18%. The fall was driven largely by a sharp reduction in foreign-currency securities holdings, much of which are US Treasuries bought during dollar-buying interventions about 20 years ago and which account for roughly 70% of Japan's FX reserves.
