S&P 500 gains 0.62% as July payrolls drop 23,000 and rate-hike odds fall to 44%
A weaker US July payrolls print and softer wage growth pushed Treasury yields lower and reduced implied odds of a September Fed hike (to ~44% from ~58%), supporting risk assets. US equities finished higher (S&P 500 +0.62%, Nasdaq 100 +1.19%) alongside broadly strong earnings momentum, especially in software, cybersecurity, and semiconductors. Macro-driven duration bid and upbeat profit guidance improved near-term equity risk appetite.
