investingLive Americas market news wrap: Non-farm payrolls beat estimates
Good morning. The main theme today is a split market tone, with strong US jobs data on one side and pressure on technology shares on the other. October non-farm payrolls came in at one hundred sixty-five thousand, well above the sixty-five thousand expected. Canada, by contrast, lost four point seven thousand jobs, and its unemployment rate stood at six point seven percent.
The technology selloff is the story drawing the most attention. AI shares were hit hard after the midterm results, as the data center buildout turns into what one description called a war of attrition. The report notes the trade was already under strain from high interest rates, heavy capital spending and questions about returns.
There was also a rebound. AI stocks climbed after trillions were wiped from market values. Investors had been selling tech shares partly on concerns that a Democrat election victory would mean slower AI development.
On policy, one official, Hassett, said the blue wave will not stop the AI build-out. Data centers are described as a crucial part of the push to win the global artificial intelligence race, and that effort is said to continue despite the midterm results.
In fiscal news, the US Treasury may reach a debt cap of forty-one point one trillion dollars by February. A potential breach could lead to tighter fiscal policy, with effects on Treasury yields and broader economic stability.
Oil prices fell sharply as the US elections shook up the Iran war picture. December West Texas Intermediate crude shed eleven dollars and thirty-seven cents, or eleven point one percent, from its opening price of one hundred two dollars and thirty-nine cents. It had posted a weekly high of one hundred two dollars and seventy-five cents before breaking lower.
How many stories mention each market, and how many read bullish or bearish.
