What happened
U.S. payrolls rose by 57,000 in June, a figure that missed expectations and continued a trend of disappointing job numbers as 2026 reached its halfway point. Coverage from Reuters, Seeking Alpha, and Yahoo Finance emphasizes that the Dow and S&P 500 received a lift from the report, as the data eased bets on further rate hikes.
XTB.com had previously questioned whether the Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) data would cause Wall Street to plummet. Market participants are now monitoring the impact of these payroll figures on the likelihood of rate hikes as Wall Street opens higher.
