Baird Maintains Neutral on Wayfair, Raises Price Target to $52

The U.S. labor market is flashing a rare warning sign after private sector payrolls fell in June for the first time in over two years, raising concerns about the economy&#8217;s health and increasing bets on Federal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">Reserve interest rate cuts.</a>
Private employers cut 33,000 jobs last month, according to the ADP National Employment Report released Thursday. 
That's a sharp drop from the downwardly revised 29,000 gain in May and far below economist forecasts for a 95,000 increase. 
The last time this data showed a monthly contraction was in March 2023, coinciding with the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, which triggered a brief banking crisis.
The ADP report precedes the more closely watched U.S. government jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, due on Thursday. Economists expect nonfarm payrolls to slow from 139,000 in May to 110,000 in June.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where Job Losses Hit Hardest In June</h2>
The losses were concentrated in service-providing sectors, which collectively shed 66,000 jobs. Within that group, professional and business services lost 56,000 jobs, while education and health services dropped 52,000. Financial activities cut 14,000 positions.
There were modest gains in leisure and hospitality (+32,000), trade, transportation and utilities (+14,000), and information (+5,000). Meanwhile, goods-producing industries added 32,000 jobs, driven largely by manufacturing.
"Though layoffs continue to be rare, a hesitancy to hire and a reluctance to replace departing workers led to job losses last month," said Nela Richardson, chief economist at ADP. "Still, the slowdown in hiring has yet to disrupt pay growth."
&#8220;Though layoffs continue to be rare, a hesitancy to hire and a reluctance to replace departing workers led to job losses last month. Still, the slowdown in hiring has yet to disrupt pay growth,&#8221; Richardson added.
Despite the hiring freeze, wage growth held firm. Year-over-year pay for job stayers increased 4.4%, while those who changed jobs saw an average 6.8% boost in salaries, indicating underlying labor market tightness remains.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions: Traders Add Rate Cut Bets</h2>
Markets immediately responded to the surprise job contraction by ramping up bets on Federal Reserve rate cuts. The odds of a July rate cut increased to 25%, up from 20% the previous day.
Traders now fully price in a rate cut by September and expect another 25-basis-point reduction by December.
Despite the weak labor print, U.S. equity futures remained steady. Contracts on the S&amp;P 500 hovered around 6,200 points in premarket trading in New York.
Gold futures – as tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>) – spiked on the back of increased rate cut expectations. Bullion rose to $3,350 per ounce as investors sought safety amid labor market uncertainties.

1.3 million patients are hospitalized annually in the U.S. from acute heart failure and it is the #1 cause of hospitalization in patients &gt;65 years old
If istaroxime is approved in the US for acute heart failure, this patent would provide protection to 2039
Windtree Therapeutics, Inc. ("Windtree" or the "Company") (NasdaqCM: WINT), a diversified company focused on revenue generation in multiple growing industries is pleased to announce that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued an istaroxime patent for the United States - application number 18/150,870 directed to "ISTAROXIME-CONTAINING INTRAVENOUS FORMULATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF ACUTE HEART FAILURE."
Acute heart failure, or AHF, impacts millions of patients globally and istaroxime has previously completed two positive Phase 2 AHF studies and two positive early cardiogenic shock studies caused by acute heart failure.
"We are pleased to strengthen our intellectual property for istaroxime with this patent for the United States," said Jed Latkin, CEO of Windtree. "Istaroxime is approaching Phase 3 readiness in cardiogenic shock and acute heart failure. If istaroxime is approved in AHF, this patent would provide protection until 2039. We believe the profile of istaroxime is differentiated from currently available drugs and drug treatment innovation is desired for patients."
About Istaroxime Istaroxime is a first-in-class dual-mechanism therapy designed to improve both systolic and diastolic cardiac function. Istaroxime is a positive inotropic agent that increases myocardial contractility through inhibition of Na+/K+- ATPase with a complimentary mechanism that facilitates myocardial relaxation through activation of the SERCA2a calcium pump on the sarcoplasmic reticulum enhancing calcium reuptake from the cytoplasm. Data from multiple Phase 2 studies in patients with early cardiogenic shock or acute decompensated heart failure demonstrate that istaroxime infused intravenously can significantly improve cardiac function and blood pressure without increasing heart rate or the incidence of clinically significant cardiac rhythm disturbances.

A Glimpse Into The Expert Outlook On Federal Realty Investment Through 8 Analysts

JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) is working on a blockchain-powered system to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44456074/tokenization-will-merge-crypto-and-equities-bernstein">tokenize carbon credits</a> as part of its efforts to improve tracking, transparency, and trading efficiency in the carbon markets.
What Happened: The U.S. bank's blockchain division, Kinexys, is collaborating with S&amp;P Global Commodity Insights, EcoRegistry, and the International Carbon Registry to launch a pilot project, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-07-02/jpmorgan-s-blockchain-unit-explores-tokenizing-carbon-credits?embedded-checkout=true">reported</a>.
The trial will test whether blockchain technology can help track carbon credits from issuance to retirement, potentially reducing market inefficiencies and enhancing traceability. 
Tokenization is gaining momentum across financial markets, with major institutions such as BlackRock (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NYSE">BLK</a>) and Deutsche Bank (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DB#NYSE">DB</a>) exploring ways to digitize real-world assets like stocks and Treasury bills to streamline trade settlement.
JPMorgan believes applying similar digital solutions to the voluntary carbon markets could address longstanding challenges, including fragmented systems, inconsistent standards, and limited transparency. 
In a statement, the bank noted that a unified blockchain-based framework could enable carbon credits to move more easily between buyers and sellers.
&#8220;The voluntary carbon market is ripe for innovation,&#8221; said Alastair Northway, head of natural resource advisory at JPMorgan Payments. 
He added that blockchain-based tokenization has the potential to create a globally compatible system that could improve trust, price visibility, and liquidity in the market.
Carbon credits typically represent one metric ton of carbon dioxide either removed from or prevented from entering the atmosphere, often through renewable energy or forestry projects. 
Tokenizing these credits would create a digital version recorded on a blockchain, making them more easily verifiable and tradable.

Why It Matters: While carbon markets are seen as tools for supporting environmental projects and channeling investment to developing economies, they have faced criticism.
Allegations of greenwashing and instances where projects failed to achieve promised emissions reductions have raised concerns about the credibility of the sector.
Despite these issues, financial institutions and governments continue to show interest in advancing carbon markets. 
JPMorgan, which has financed carbon projects and purchased carbon removal credits, aims to position itself as a leader in this space.
In a report released Wednesday, JPMorgan described carbon markets as an emerging asset class that could grow stronger with better infrastructure and continued innovation. 
However, the bank cautioned that if these improvements do not materialize, the market could face further setbacks in credibility and demand. 
JPMorgan also noted that earlier tokenization attempts by other market players raised concerns about double-counting and the potential misuse of retired credits.
