Market Surge: Wall Street Rebounds Amid Fed Rate Cut Speculations
U.S. stock markets rebounded after a drastic previous session decline, driven by expectations of substantial Federal Reserve rate cuts following weak jobs data. Investors also monitored corporate movements and product price increases. Key movers included Tesla, Spotify, and news surrounding political and central bank dynamics under Trump.

Stocks on Wall Street surged on Monday, recovering from a steep dive in the previous session. Driven by hopes of more aggressive interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, following a weak jobs report, main indexes like the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq saw significant upward movement, making their biggest daily gains in over two months.
Reacting to dismal employment data, markets increased their bets on upcoming rate cuts, with analysts pointing to the potential for two quarter-point cuts before the year's end. Meanwhile, political dynamics came into play as President Trump fired a key labor statistics official and maneuvering began for the Fed's leadership.
The day also witnessed corporate share movements, with Tesla's shares rising after CEO Elon Musk received a substantial stock award, and Spotify stock jumping on news of subscription price hikes. Other notable movers included Joby Aviation and IDEXX Laboratories, which reported impressive earnings.
