🔥TODAY: Markets jumped Friday after a SOFT U.S. jobs report sent Treasury yields lower and boosted hopes the Fed will stay on hold in October. September’s +29,000 nonfarm payroll gain was the weakest positive jobs print of 2026, showing how sharply U.S. hiring has slowed. The S&P 500 rose 1%, the Dow gained 385 points and the Nasdaq climbed 1.4%. September payrolls increased by just 29,000, while unemployment rose to 4.2%. BAD news for jobs turned into GOOD NEWS for stocks as lower yields fueled another push into risk assets.
