Fed Rate Cut Expectations Rise After February Jobs Report: Friday's Stock Movers
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
The February jobs report showed mixed signals, with a notable increase in nonfarm payrolls but a higher unemployment rate and lower-than-expected wage growth. This has led to increased expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, with the market pricing in four cuts by the end of the year. Following the report, stock futures rose slightly, and specific stocks reacted with varying degrees of gains and losses in early trading.
