What happened

Well supportedReported by 7 independent outlets

The FED is awaiting inflation and employment figures to gauge potential future rate cuts. A weaker-than-expected July jobs report caused bond markets to rally and stock prices to rise, as investors interpreted softer labor conditions as a potential signal for easing interest rate pressure. Separately, US August housing starts and building permits were lower than expected, indicating continued pain in the housing market.
