U.S. equities traded on August 7, 2026 with a positive bias after a weaker-than-expected labor report showed employers cut roughly 23,000 jobs, reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve can delay or avoid further rate hikes. That ‘bad news is good news’ dynamic supported risk assets even as it underscored concerns about longer‑term growth. (apnews.com)
The move followed a strong early‑August run for stocks, including a rally earlier in the week that pushed major U.S. indices near record territory as falling oil prices eased inflation worries and supported expectations that disinflation can continue without aggressive policy tightening.
