Mercadona is expanding its presence in Portugal with a new opening in the Alentejo. The Spanish supermarket chain is preparing for the inauguration of a store at Beja Jardim Commercial Park, which will open its doors on September 3rd. This opening represents another step in the company's growth strategy in the Portuguese market, which has been reinforcing its territorial coverage in recent years. The location in Beja allows Mercadona to reach new consumers in the Alentejo region, expanding its customer base beyond the coastal and urban areas where it already operates.

USA: private sector creates 38,000 new jobs in August

The US private sector created only 38,000 new jobs in August, below market expectations and the lowest since January, according to ADP data.

This weak reading of the labor market, which reflects a pattern of "not firing, not hiring," may reduce the odds of an interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve as early as September, despite official US employment data not being released until Friday.
