US Stock Market Set to Open Higher After Blowout Jobs Report and Strong Tech Earnings

 

The US stock market is expected to open higher today after a blowout jobs report and strong earnings from tech giants Amazon and Meta. 

The economy added 353,000 jobs in January, almost double the 185,000 expected by economists. The unemployment rate remained unchanged at 3.7%.
