Jobs Report Spurts Interest Rate Cut Bets, Stocks Soar
The stock market reacted to the July jobs report, which showed an unexpected loss of 23,000 jobs. This weaker-than-expected data led investors to bet on a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve.
A number of stocks jumped in response, including Corning (GLW), Sunrun (RUN), Coinbase (COIN), Builders FirstSource (BLDR), and Blue Bird (BLBD).
Corning's stock price increased 6.4%, while Sunrun saw a surge of 8.4%. Coinbase rose 5.2%.
