Canada Unveils Artificial Intelligence Strategy

On June 5, the Canadian government officially announced a new national artificial intelligence strategy called 'AI for All' on June 4. This strategy plans to invest billions of Canadian dollars in public funding, aiming to address the capital gap faced by high-growth domestic AI companies through key initiatives such as establishing a technology growth fund, expanding sovereign computing infrastructure, and strengthening legal regulations. The government will assist local enterprises in attracting commercial capital, retaining core talent and intellectual property, and enhancing global competitiveness by providing flexible capital and investment support, and even taking equity investment forms when necessary.

  • US Employment Growth in the Past Three Months is Strongest in Over Two Years

    On June 5, according to US media reports, employment growth in May exceeded all economists' expectations, and the unemployment rate remained stable, further indicating that the labor market may be emerging from a prolonged period of weak hiring. Data released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday showed that non-farm payrolls increased by 172,000 in May, with revisions upward for the previous two months. This brings the employment growth over the past three months to the strongest level in over two years. The report indicates that despite a recent rise in energy prices leading to a historic low in consumer confidence, the US labor market is showing signs of recovery after nearly stagnating last year. This data may also increase pressure on the Federal Reserve to consider raising interest rates to curb inflation. Following the data release, US Treasury bonds faced a sell-off, with the two-year Treasury yield rising by more than 7 basis points to 4.1%. The interest rate swap market indicates that expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike have increased, with the market nearly fully pricing in a 25 basis point hike by the end of the year.

  • Analyst: Clear Momentum in U.S. Job Growth

    On June 5, institutional analyst Anstey commented on U.S. non-farm employment: We indicated before the data release that recent figures show changes in the job market, and this is now beyond doubt. The performance in 2025 has been very poor—average monthly job growth was only 26,000, compared to 117,000 in 2024—but there is a clear momentum in job recovery. So far this year, the average monthly job growth has reached 79,000, with nearly 188,000 added in the past three months, which is truly encouraging!
  • U.S. Employment Growth in May Continues Strong Momentum from Previous Months

    On June 5, it was reported that the U.S. economy achieved strong employment growth again in May, confirming that the labor market is gaining momentum after experiencing a downturn last year, and may provide the Federal Reserve with more leeway to maintain interest rates amid rising inflation triggered by the war with Iran. Data released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday showed that non-farm payrolls increased by 172,000 in May, while the April increase was significantly revised up from the previously reported 115,000 to 179,000. The employment growth in May continued the strong momentum of the previous two months. The unemployment rate remained at 4.3% for the third consecutive month. The improvement in employment growth mainly reflects that the level of layoffs remains low. There are currently no signs that the Middle East conflict, which has caused oil prices and the prices of goods transported through the Strait of Hormuz to soar, has had a substantial impact on the U.S. job market. Despite the strong performance in employment growth, the labor market is still in what economists refer to as a 'low hiring, low layoffs' equilibrium.
