Unemployment rate in US falls unexpectedly to 13.3%
US employers unexpectedly added 2.5m jobs in May, sending the jobless rate down to 13.3 per cent and easing worries over the damage inflicted by the coronavirus crisis on the world’s largest economy. The improvement in the labour market will revive hopes that the US may experience a more rapid economic bounceback from the virus emergency than feared by many economists and officials. Federal Reserve officials had warned of further job losses on top of those experienced in the first two months of the pandemic and cautioned that a full recovery may not materialise until the end of next year.

ECB sends euro higher, stocks pause after week-long rally

The euro rallied for an eighth straight session after the ECB said it would increase the size of emergency bond purchases by 600 billion euros ($674 billion) to 1.35 trillion euros, more than the 500 billion-euro increase analysts had expected.

The U.S. government has opened the spigots and let loose nearly $3 trillion to try to rescue the economy from the coronavirus outbreak — a river of debt that would have been unthinkable even a few months ago. With the U.S. economy in a frightening free-fall, they say, the government has no choice but to pour trillions into an emergency operation. What's more, the lessons of World War II and the 2008 financial crisis suggest to many that a combination of ultra-low interest rates and eventual economic growth can keep government debts manageable and prevent a budget crisis.
