US Markets Rally as Weak Employment Data Damps Rate Hike Expectations
Yahoo Finance ·
U.S. equities closed higher on Friday as a disappointing September employment report tempered fears of aggressive monetary tightening by the Federal Reserve. The S&P 500 climbed 0.7% to settle at 7,722.72, the Nasdaq 100 gained 1% to reach 30,807.93, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 0.5% to 51,176.96. Small-cap stocks tracked by the Russell 2000 also added 0.9%. The Department of Labor reported that the economy added just 29,000 jobs last month, falling significantly short of the 84,000 consensus estimated by Dow Jones, while the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2%. Consequently, the implied probability of an interest rate hike at the upcoming October meeting plunged sharply to 22% from 64% a week prior. Wells Fargo Investment Institute analyst Jennifer Timmerman noted that the softening labor market could delay further policy tightening. In corporate news, major equities including Nvidia, Boeing, and Rivian captured investor attention amid sector-specific developments and robust third-quarter delivery figures.
AI 시장 분석
With U.S. employment data falling short of expectations and easing concerns over a potential October rate hike, the S&P 500 rose 0.7% and the Nasdaq gained 1%. As monetary tightening pressure weakened, buying interest flowed primarily into tech and growth stocks. Investors should focus on risk management while closely monitoring future Federal Reserve policy shifts and key economic indicators.
상승 영향
- Semiconductors — Supported by eased rate hike concerns and gains in major tech stocks like NVDA, SMH and SOXX ETFs rose about 2% showing strong performance.
- AI — Buying flowed into related infrastructure and tech sectors due to positive news of APLD achieving a data center capacity milestone and SPCX securing an AI computing contract.
- Electric Vehicles — RIVN delivered 19,248 vehicles in the third quarter, beating market expectations of 18,000 and driving the stock price up.
하락 영향

DYAX 전담 분석
September job growth came in at 29,000, missing expectations of 84,000, and the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, causing the probability of a Fed rate hike in October to plummet to 22%. While the stock market rallied on expectations of monetary easing, volatility in the bond market remains a caution factor, with the 10-year Treasury yield rising to 5.28%.
The bullish scenario going forward is a continued tech rally as declining inflation solidifies the Fed's rate freeze stance, while the bearish scenario is renewed valuation pressure driven by further rises in Treasury yields. Key indicators to watch are the 10-year Treasury yield and the upcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI).
