US DATA
US DATA: Mixed report, as June payrolls +213k, higher than the +195k 
expected and April-May net revisions +37k, but the unemp rate +0.2pp to 
4.0% (4.048%) and hourly earnings softer than expected.
- Labor force participation rate 62.9% vs 62.7% in May, explaining some 
of the rise in the unemp rate. The labor force +601k, mostly due to 
+499k for household unemployed after declines in the previous three 
months. Household employed +102k. The U-6 unemp rate also +0.2pp to 7.8%.
- Hourly earnings +0.2% (+0.186%) m/m and +2.7% y/y after unrev +0.3% 
(+2.7% y/y) in May.
- Private jobs +202k vs +189k expected. Within payrolls, there were 
solid gains for manufacturing (+36k), health care (+35k), professional 
and business services (+50k), and leisure (+25k ahead of the summer 
season), but retail payrolls -22k, the glaring weakness.
