Stocks rise as weak jobs data eases rate-hike fears
Original: Equities close higher as softer jobs data quiets rate-hike expectations
Equities closed higher after a softer US jobs report eased expectations of further interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. Investors read the cooling labour market as a sign that policy tightening may be nearly done, lifting risk appetite and sending major stock indexes up at the close.
