Jobs Report: Hiring Firms Up, Keeping Fed Hawkish; S&P 500 Futures Rise (Live Coverage)

ملخص

The April jobs report is expected to show decent hiring, supporting a solid labor market and potentially keeping the Fed hawkish, which may impact interest rate decisions and subsequently affect the S&P 500 and other assets. High oil prices have also diminished hopes for a Fed rate cut. The S&P 500 futures are rising in response to these expectations.
