Nasdaq futures lead markets lower ahead of crucial jobs report

Nasdaq futures lead markets lower ahead of crucial jobs report

US stock futures took a step back on Friday as investors awaited a crucial jobs report that will provide insight into the potential size of the upcoming interest rate cut and the overall strength of the US economy.

Tech stocks led the decline, with Nasdaq 100 futures dropping 1.1%. S&P 500 futures retreated 0.6%, while Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell 0.3%.

Despite some lackluster closes, the stock market has been volatile this week as investors analyze incoming economic data to determine if the Federal Reserve will consider a rate cut larger than the expected 0.25% at its September meeting. Weaker labor market indicators have added to the speculation of a 0.5% cut, but have also raised concerns about a potential recession in the US.

Investors are now bracing themselves for more volatility as they await the release of the pivotal August jobs report, which is expected to show an increase in nonfarm payrolls to 165,000 at 8:30 a.m. ET. The key question is whether the data will confirm the cooling trend seen in July’s surprising report, or if it will reveal that labor market weakness has been overstated.

Ahead of the report, the market is pricing in a 41% chance of a deeper rate cut by the Fed, up from 30% a week ago, according to the CME FedWatch tool.

In pre-market trading, chipmaker Broadcom saw its shares decline following a disappointing sales forecast. While the company is benefiting from increased spending in artificial intelligence, its other divisions are not performing as well.

Overall, the market is on edge as it awaits the jobs report and the potential implications it may have on future interest rate decisions by the Federal Reserve. Investors will be closely monitoring the data to gauge the health of the US economy and the likelihood of further rate cuts in the near future.
