a slowdown in the U.S. economy.
A Labor Department report showed the U.S. economy added
115,000 jobs last month, compared with the economists' estimates
for a rise of 62,000. The unemployment rate stood at 4.3%,
compared with expectations of 4.3%.
At 08:33 a.m., Dow E-minis were up 207 points,

or 0.59%. Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 247 points,
