US stocks rise near their record after the latest jobs report calms the rattled bond market
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported49m ago
On Friday in New York, major U.S. stock indices rose and bond yields fell following the release of the latest U.S. jobs report. The weaker-than-expected employment data helped drive stocks back toward their all-time highs and brought relief to a rattled bond market.
According to the reports, the subdued job creation numbers eased investor concerns that a robust U.S. economy would exacerbate inflation. Consequently, market participants interpreted the cooling labor market as a signal that the Federal Reserve is less likely to implement an immediate interest rate hike.
