Futures Dip Ahead of Jobs Report
Update: 2025-12-16
Description
Stock market futures dipped slightly on Friday as investors braced for the nonfarm payrolls report. Economists predict 188,000 jobs were added in March, keeping the unemployment rate steady at 3.9%. Despite Fed rate hikes, job growth has surprised many. However, some economists question the strength of this growth due to survey discrepancies. A strong jobs report could delay the first rate cut, impacting borrowing costs and investment strategies. Additionally, the U.S. trade deficit widened to $68.9 billion in February, exceeding expectations.
