NY Fed President John Williams gave the central bank some cover in the event that it starts to taper its massive bond-buying efforts “even if the job market grows at a lackluster pace in coming months.” Williams’ discussion of tapering comes in the broader context of the Federal Reserve trying to find a goldilocks solution to managing easing its extraordinary stimulus measures without disrupting markets or its twin mandates of max employment and 2% average inflation - NYTimes and MarketWatch

Despite the surging Delta variant, U.S. job openings hit a new record of nearly 10.9 million in July, up 700k from an “upwardly revised 10.2 million in June.” Actual hiring, however, is more of a mixed bag - Bloomberg and Marketplace
A Delaware Chancery Vice Chancellor decided this week that Boeing’s board “must face a shareholder lawsuit claiming directors failed to properly monitor safety matters before two 737 MAX jets crashed” and then “’publicly lied’ about their oversight of management,” a major blow to the company, which had sought to dismiss the case in its earliest stages - WSJ
Drugmaker Perrigo announced plans to acquire health product and drug company Hera for $2.1 billion “in a merger that would help cement Perrigo’s shift to focus on nonprescription drugs” - WSJ
