U.S. job gains increased in September by the most in six months, and the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%, the report showed.
The data «basically tells us economic activity in the fourth quarter is likely to remain at a solid pace,» said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Spartan Capital Securities in New York.
«It's a good surprise, but I also think it may now slow the pace of rate cuts.»
Traders further reduced bets on a 50-basis-point reduction at the Federal Reserve's Nov. 6-7 meeting. Traders are now pricing in just an 8% chance of a 50-bps rate cut, down from around 31% earlier on Friday, the CME Group's FedWatch Tool showed.
