US stocks set another record and yields leap on signals the US economy is solid

Açıklama:

U.S. stocks hit fresh record highs Thursday after a stronger‑than‑expected jobs report signaled a resilient labor market. The S&P 500 rose 0.8%, marking its fourth record in five days, while the Dow and Nasdaq also gained 0.8% and 1%, respectively. Hiring exceeded forecasts, easing recession fears but pushing Treasury yields higher as traders lowered expectations of a near‑term Federal Reserve rate cut. Gains were broad‑based, with travel and bank stocks rallying, while homebuilders fell on concerns about persistently high rates.
