Wall Street Inches Higher as Strong Jobs Report Fuels Rate Cut Hopes

U.S. stock futures nudged upward Thursday morning after the June jobs report revealed stronger-than-expected hiring, reinforcing investor optimism for potential interest rate cuts later this year.

The Labor Department reported a gain of 147,000 jobs, surpassing economists’ forecast of 106,000. The unemployment rate dipped to 4.1%, down from 4.3%, signaling continued resilience in the labor market.

Investors interpreted the data as a sign that the economy remains on solid footing, yet not so strong as to deter the Federal Reserve from considering rate cuts. Market sentiment was further buoyed by easing trade tensions, following the U.S. lifting export restrictions on chip design software to China—a move that sent shares of Synopsys and Cadence Design Systems soaring over 5%.

With Wall Street set to close early at 1 p.m. ET for Independence Day, all eyes now turn to the Fed’s next move—and whether this labor market surprise accelerates the timeline for monetary easing.
