Good Evening, The jobs report came in a shy of expectations and the market became confused, moving up and down and then back up in a volatile session ending the day in the red. Investors spent the day speculating on the latest chances for a Fed rate increase in December. They tell me it’s now 60%. I wonder how they came up with that……
U.S. job growth slows; markets bet on December rate hike
