<h2>US Jobs Number Raises Recovery Hopes</h2>
<p>While global equities benchmarks remain broadly supported, upside momentum has stalled a little this week following a bumper US jobs report on Friday. The NFP for May came in at a record 2.5 million. This reading was in stark contrast to the -7.5 million figure expected and reflects a wildly impressive rebound from the prior month’s -20.5 million reading. The unemployment rate was seen recovering from 14.7% to 13.3%, against expectations of an increase to 19.4%. These data sets, which come as a great surprise, have raised questions over the current recovery forecasts for the US economy, suggesting that it might be quicker than currently forecast.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, in the latest set of forecasts released by the World Bank this week, the group now forecasts economic growth to contract by 5.2% in the deepest global downturn since World War II. Furthermore, the World Bank warns that this is assuming its baselines scenario of economic and social distancing measures easing in June, saying that should these measures be extended for a further 3 months the downturn could be as deep as 10%.</p>
<p>The Fed announced an adjustment to its main street lending program ahead of the FOMC meeting this week. The program, which aims to support small and mid-sized businesses and has yet to start, will offer $600 billion in corporate loans to businesses which usually access credit via bank loans. While no further easing is expected from the Fed on Wednesday, the market will expect to hear further details regarding this and its other programs.</p>
