From Breakingviews: England and Manchester United soccer star Marcus Rashford humbles UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and a jump in U.S. retail sales gives cause for both hope and concern. Catch up with the latest financial insights
Soccer Football - Premier League - Watford v Manchester United - Vicarage Road, Watford, Britain - December 22, 2019. Manchester United's Marcus Rashford applauds fans after the match.SCHOOL WINNERS. Marcus Rashford has arguably just become the most expensive soccer player in English history. The Manchester United forward on Tuesday forced Prime Minister Boris Johnson into a humbling reversal over providing food vouchers for schoolchildren during the summer holiday.
Who’s right? Probably both. The recent spike in coronavirus cases in states like Texas could mean this burst of activity doesn’t last. And the looming expiration of enhanced unemployment benefits may crimp spending. But much of the country is likely to reopen. And the Trump administration is considering a roughly $1 trillion infrastructure plan, which could boost hiring. Best to be a skeptical optimist: look for green shoots without forgetting to watch out for thorns.
UNDER THE SURFACE. There’s more pain ahead. The UK jobless rate was unchanged at 3.9% in the three months to April, official data showed on Tuesday. The details paint a grimmer picture. The number of people on companies’ payrolls declined, there was a record drop in weekly hours worked, and the quarterly drop in vacancies was the biggest since the series began. Layoffs will rise when the furlough scheme, which is scheduled to run until the end of October, winds up, or even before then.
The optimistic tone in Monday’s results was buoyed by things getting back to normal and retailers reopening in China. The company may have spoken too soon, however. As Beijing grapples with new virus cases and moves to reimpose restrictions, bad timing may get the better of the carmaker again. Its Mumbai-listed shares declined as much as 4% on Tuesday, twice as much as the benchmark index.
