According to the New York Feds July survey on labor market expectations, the proportion of respondents who are worried about losing their jobs in the next four months has increased from 3.9% last year to 4.4%, the proportion of people who expect to change jobs has increased to 11.6%, and the proportion of workers who have been looking for jobs in the past four weeks has increased to 28.4%… A series of indicators in the report have shown cracks in the labor market! This is undoubtedly a worrying phenomenon. Although the number of people applying for unemployment benefits is still relatively low and last weeks retail data performed well, economists continue to issue warnings, pointing out that when the economy is at a turning point, the slowdown in the labor market tends to be relatively early, and the economic growth data cools down later. The focus of the market this week is on Federal Reserve Chairman Powell, who will face a completely different dilemma at the Jackson Hole meeting than the previous year. Considering the recent reassuring inflation data, Powell may remind everyone to pay more attention to employment issues than predicting how much interest rates will be cut in September. The Federal Reserve will receive a revised job growth data on Wednesday, which may show that job growth from last year to the beginning of this year is weaker than before. In addition, the non-farm data at the beginning of next month will inevitably be the focus of attention in determining market sentiment and trends.

BTCs intraday Realized Vol of ~48% is basically the same as the front-end IV, and ETHs RV is about 49%, which is slightly lower than the front-end IV by about 5%-7%.
