‘Volatility is still fairly low’: U.S. jobs data impact

Volatile U.S. jobs data boosts Nasdaq and equities, but Middle East tensions could threaten global markets and inflation

Volatility remains relatively subdued following weaker US jobs data, with markets taking the latest figures as a signal that further interest rate hikes may be off the table.

Zoran Kresovic from Blueberry Markets says falling US Treasury yields have helped lift the NASDAQ 100 and maintain momentum across global equities.

However, geopolitical risks remain a key concern.

Ongoing tensions in the Middle East and volatility in oil prices could reignite inflation fears and complicate the outlook for central banks.

The softer jobs data could also weigh on the US dollar as markets reassess the path for interest rates, while equities continue to benefit from easing rate expectations.
