Financial markets have spent the week recalibrating after last Friday’s much weaker-than-expected US payrolls data: government bond yields have declined sharply, while equity markets have remained perky off hopes of a gentler policy path and still-resilient earnings.

US payroll revisions
Healthcare employment
China's trade with the US and Asia
Private sector indebtedness
Global supply chain pressures
