U.S. employers announced 33,429 job cuts in July, marking the lowest level of layoffs in two years. Despite this broader stabilization in the labor market, the technology sector continues to experience significant workforce reductions, with artificial intelligence cited as a primary driver of these ongoing cuts. Data from Challenger, Gray & Christmas indicates that while the overall trend is positive, specific industries remain in a state of contraction.

Simultaneously, in the financial markets, Mercado Libre shares experienced a 6% decline on Wall Street following the release of the company's latest quarterly earnings report. The stock, led by Marcos Galperin, dropped to $1,808, reflecting investor reaction to the firm's recent fiscal performance.
