Stocks rally as soft jobs data eases rate-hike fears

Original: Equities close higher as softer jobs data quiets rate-hike expectations

Global equity markets closed higher after a softer-than-expected jobs report cooled expectations of further interest rate hikes by central banks. Investors interpreted the weaker labour market data as a sign that monetary policy tightening may be nearing an end, lifting sentiment across major stock indices and easing pressure on bond yields.

Why now: The jobs report shifted market expectations for future interest rate moves, prompting a broad equity rally.
