U.S. jobs data disappoints, pushing Fed’s likely QE exit to 2014
美国就业数据不乐观 货币宽松政策继续
US stocks edged higher on Tuesday, after lower than expected September job figures from the Department of Labor.The agency’s report shows the US created 148 thousand new, non-farm jobs in September, which brought the country’s unemployment rate to 7.2 %, down by 0.1 percent from the previous month. The Dow ended up 0.49 percent. The Nasdaq by 0.24 percent, and the S&P 500 closed 0.57 higher. Analysts say US’s employment was NOT growing as fast as expected, so they believe the Federal Reserve is unlikely to taper its 85-billion-dollar monthly purchase by the end of the year.
