US Stocks Rise on Soft-Landing Expectations: Markets Wrap
SHARE

The latest jobs report in the US has sent stocks soaring as the economy continues to show signs of strength. The S&P 500 climbed 0.7% and the Nasdaq 100 gained 1%, while Treasuries sold off after the data suggested that the Federal Reserve may not make another big rate cut next month.

Nonfarm payrolls increased by 254,000 in September, following a revised 72,000 advance over the previous two months. The unemployment rate also fell to 4.1%, indicating a robust labor market. This positive data, coupled with other economic indicators throughout the week, showcases the resilience of the US economy.

Lindsay Rosner, head of multi-sector investing at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, believes that the Fed will slow its rate cuts based on the strong jobs report. She stated, “The economy is heading into the post-season solidly. This is a beat on every aspect and the Fed must be smiling as they got their bats out.”

Market experts are also optimistic about the implications of the jobs report. Eric Merlis, managing director at Citizens, noted that the data suggests a potential soft landing for the economy. Joe Gaffoglio, President and CEO at Mutual Of America Capital Management, highlighted the overall strength of the economy, with low unemployment and inflation moving towards the Federal Reserve’s target.

Neil Birrell, chief investment officer at Premier Miton Investors, emphasized the importance of employment data in shaping market expectations. He suggested that a half-point rate cut may no longer be on the table for the Fed’s next meeting, given the positive report.

Looking ahead, Chris Larkin, managing director at E*Trade, pointed out that the upcoming jobs report before the Fed’s next interest rate decision in November will be crucial. However, the current strength of the labor market indicates a smaller rate cut may be more likely.

In terms of market movements, stocks saw gains across the board, with the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Dow Jones Industrial Average all rising. Currencies experienced fluctuations, with the Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index rising and the euro and British pound falling. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether saw modest gains, while bond yields and commodity prices also saw some movement.

Overall, the jobs report has provided a boost to investor confidence and suggests a positive outlook for the US economy. This story was produced with the assistance of Bloomberg Automation, highlighting the importance of data-driven analysis in today’s financial markets.
