PANews reported on October 4 that according to Jinshi, the September non-farm payrolls data showed that the US job market added 254,000 jobs last month, and US stock index futures rose. S&P 500 futures rose 0.7%, higher than the 0.3% or so before the data was released. Traders are weighing the positive signals about the strong economy in the report and the possibility that strong job growth may lead the Federal Reserve to slow down the pace of interest rate cuts.
