05 Jun 2021 Evaluate

The US markets ended higher with notable gains on Friday after the Labor Department report showed job growth in the US reaccelerated in May. Non-farm payroll employment jumped by 559,000 jobs in May after climbing by an upwardly revised 278,000 jobs in April. Street had expected employment to surge by 650,000 jobs compared to the addition of 266,000 jobs originally reported for the previous month. Employment in the leisure and hospitality sector showed another significant increase, spiking by 292,000 jobs during the month. Notable job growth was also seen in public and private education and health care and social assistance. The Labor Department also said the unemployment rate fell to 5.8 percent in May from 6.1 percent in April, while market participants had expected the unemployment rate to dip to 5.9 percent. With the bigger than expected decrease, the unemployment rate dropped to its lowest level since hitting 4.4 percent in March of 2020.

Besides, Semiconductor stocks turned in some of the market's best performances on the day, resulting in a 2.4 percent jump by the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index. Chipmaker Broadcom (AVGO) posted a notable gain after reporting better than expected fiscal second quarter results and providing upbeat guidance. Significant strength was also visible among software stocks, with the Dow Jones US Software Index surging up by 2 percent. Networking stocks also saw considerable strength on the day, driving the NYSE Arca Networking Index up by 1.7 percent to a new record closing high.

Dow Jones Industrial Average surged 179.35 points or 0.52 percent to 34,756.39. Nasdaq jumped 199.98 points or 1.47 percent to 13,814.49 and S&P 500 was up by 37.04 points or 0.88 percent to 4,229.89.
