Wall Street followed global shares higher on Friday after news that U.S. nonfarm payrolls grew less than expected last month, easing investor anxiety that tight labor markets and stubborn inflation would not let the Federal Reserve cut rates soon. Treasury yields fell, as did the dollar, after the Labor Department said nonfarm payrolls increased by 175,000 jobs in April, healthy but short of expectations for an increase of 243,000, according to economists polled by Reuters. The unemployment rate stood at 3.9% compared with expectations that it would remain steady at 3.8%.
Buyers dictated the action in the stock market today. The Nasdaq gapped powerfully above a key level on news of soft job growth in April.
Wall Street's main indexes advanced on Friday after a softer-than-expected jobs report revived hopes of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates this year, while gains in Apple and Amgen on upbeat corporate updates added support. U.S. job growth slowed more than expected in April and the increase in annual wages fell below 4% for the first time in nearly three years, while the unemployment rate stood at 3.9% compared with expectations that it would remain steady at 3.8%.
