what happened
US stocks finished mixed as strong employment data and a modest rebound in artificial-intelligence companies did little to ease investor worries about the durability of the AI boom, according to Update. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 0.46% to 51285.73, the S&P 500 gained 0.31% to 7376.86, and the Nasdaq Composite rose 1.09% to 24579.42. U.S. employers added 165,000 jobs in October, far above economists' forecasts of 59,000.
Treasury yields and the dollar rose after the report, as it increased expectations of further Federal Reserve rate hikes. The two-year yield climbed 0.045 percentage point to 4.520%, and the 10-year rose 0.023 point to 4.858%. WTI crude futures were roughly flat at $90.83 a barrel. Gold fell 0.9% to $4064.50 an ounce after recovering some ground during Thursday's stock rout.
why it matters
The strong report shifts expectations for Fed policy toward tighter settings, which supports the dollar and Treasury yields and weighs on rate-sensitive assets such as gold and growth stocks. Higher yields also muted gains in consumer-facing industries.
