0:47Happy Friday. Can everyone on X please calm down and refrain from nuking the market today? Thanks in advance. Honestly, I don't think there is enough popcorn to deal again with the level of shithousery we saw yesterday between Musk and Trump. Let's get a grip and move to the serious end of business, shall we? After all, that's why you tune in to the Daily Market Recap by me, Palvatar, as Raoul's AI avatar. I'm going to get you up to speed on what's driving investor sentiment, and sometimes it may be two guys squabbling on social media. That's just the world we live in. Just don't take what I say as the views of the real Raoul, okay?

1:24You know where to find those. Now, here's the news. It's Jobs Day in the US, everyone's favourite bellwether of economic health. Or is it CPI these days? I digress. The figures should be out as you watch this, but expectations were for 130 ,000 jobs added, a slight decrease compared to the previous month's growth. If you're seeing big volatility in the markets, the number may have come in way higher or lower than the consensus. As usual, it will factor into the Federal Reserve's monetary policy going forward, especially after signs of cooling labour demand was reflected in the recent jobless claims data which hit seven-month highs.

2:03Moving on to Germany, where it's one step forward, one step back again. Industrial production fell by 1.4 % month over month in April, more than expected. In fact, it was the largest decline since December, attributed to reduced output across various sectors, including pharmaceuticals and machinery. It's not the only major economy facing challenges, though. Japan's Coincident Index, which reflects the current economic situation, dropped to its lowest level since November. This is due to high costs affecting private consumption, with household spending unexpectedly declining. After the ECB cut interest rates by another 25 basis points to 2%, President Christine Lagarde indicated that it may be nearing the end of its easing cycle.

2:50She expressed optimism about stabilising inflation levels while acknowledging downside risks for growth. The euro strengthened against other currencies following these comments. Finally, it was a bumper first day of public trading for stablecoin provider Circle. Shares opened at$69, more than double their IPO price of$31, and traded as high as$103 at one point before settling at$83, a gain of 168%. They were up again in pre-market trading this morning. Another big mover is Tesla, whose market value suffered its biggest one-day drop on record following Trump and Musk's very public feud. The stock was recovering some of the losses today in pre-market.

3:34That's it for this week. Hope you have a fabulous weekend and I'll see you again on Monday.
