📉 Jobs Down, Stocks Up – What’s Going On?
•New Jobs: +143K (missed estimates!)
•Unemployment Claims: 242K (3-month high!)
•Unemployment Rate: 4.0%

Market Reaction:
📈 S&P 500: Flat
📉 Dow: Down
📈 Nasdaq: Slightly up

The Good: A weaker labor market increases the odds of Fed rate cuts, which could fuel a stock rally.

The Bad: If hiring slows too much, it could hurt corporate earnings and consumer spending.
