Epic Research Update : US Markets

US stocks jumped on Friday, giving the S&P 500 its first weekly gain in four as the impact of a weak reading on the labor market was dulled by harsh weather conditions and traders focused on expectations of further economic strength.

Nonfarm payrolls added 113,000 jobs in January - well shy of the forecast for 185,000. December payrolls were revised upward by only 1,000 to 75,000. The US unemployment rate in January hit a five-year low of 6.6 percent; slightly above the 6.5 percent level that Fed officials have said would prompt them to consider raising benchmark interest rates from near zero.
