AI Market Summary
A surprise 23,000 decline in nonfarm payrolls signals labor-market cooling, easing near-term inflation pressure and lowering the perceived urgency for further Fed tightening. Treasury yields fell (10-year to ~4.60%), supporting risk assets as equities broadly rose, led by rate-sensitive growth stocks. Softer demand expectations also weighed modestly on Brent crude, consistent with a more cautious macro outlook.
