There are signs the hot job market is cooling — but workers still have bargaining power for now, according to labor economists.

Job openings, a barometer of employers’ demand for workers, saw a near-record monthly decline in August. Openings fell by 1.1 million to 10.1 million, according to U.S. Department of Labor data issued Tuesday — a monthly decrease eclipsed only by April 2020, in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, when they fell by roughly 1.2 million.

BEIJING — The People’s Bank of China has warned against betting on the yuan
, after its rapid decline against the U.S. dollar this week.

“Do not bet on a one-sided appreciation or deprecation of the renminbi exchange rate,” the central bank said in a Chinese statement on its website late Wednesday, according to a CNBC translation.

That’s based on a readout of a speech by vice governor Liu Guoqiang at a video conference meeting on foreign exchange that day.

The renminbi, or the yuan, crossed the 7.2 level against the greenback Wednesday, falling to its weakest since 2008. The U.S. dollar index
, which tracks the dollar against major global currencies, has climbed to two-decade highs as the U.S. Federal Reserve aggressively raised interest rates this year

Its main rivals are New York firm Chainalysis and Elliptic, which is based in London.

Tax U-turn lifts pound as borrowing costs fall

The pound has climbed after the chancellor reversed his controversial decision to scrap the top rate of tax.

Sterling rose 1% to $1.128 before falling back slightly while government borrowing costs edged lower.

Tory MPs had threatened to vote against Kwasi Kwarteng's plan, saying it was unfair when living costs were so high.

The U-turn may ease market nerves, said the Institute of Fiscal Studies, but unease remains over how a remaining £43bn of tax cuts will be funded.

"The difference this makes really is trivial," said Paul Johnson, director of the IFS think tank. The chancellor pledged to abolish the 45p rate of tax, which is paid by people who earn more than £150,000 a year.
