Original: London stocks up as soft US jobs report eases rate fears https://www.standard.co.uk/business/business-news/london-stocks

London's stock market opened higher after a weaker-than-expected US jobs report calmed worries that interest rates would stay elevated for longer. Softer hiring data in the United States raises expectations that the Federal Reserve could cut rates sooner, lifting investor sentiment across global markets, with London's FTSE among the gainers.

Why now: Investors are reacting to new US employment data that shifts expectations about the timing of interest rate cuts.
