The stronger labor data lifted the 10-year Treasury yield from 4.73% the previous Friday to 4.78%, as markets priced a greater chance of a September Fed rate hike.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Bitcoin rose roughly 3% on the week and traded near $80,000, while gold eased about 0.6% to around $4,430 an ounce.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Geopolitical tension remained a market driver: renewed U.S.-Iran exchanges around the Strait of Hormuz pushed oil higher and sent U.S. gasoline prices to a record Labor Day level. A stopgap funding bill was signed to keep the government operating through mid-December, and attention also turned toward the approaching midterm elections.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Overall, equities held near recent highs despite Friday\u2019s decline, but firmer jobs numbers, higher yields, and elevated energy prices left investors focused on inflation data and the Fed\u2019s next move.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
