US EditionUS stocks rise and recover roughly half of Friday's wipeout
- U.S. stocks rose on August 4, 2025, recovering roughly half of Friday's sharp losses as markets opened amid ongoing economic concerns.
- The recovery followed a stunningly weak July jobs report showing payroll growth of only 73,000, raising expectations of a Federal Reserve rate cut in September.
- Investors also respond to President Trump's firing of the BLS commissioner over jobs data revisions and his continued criticism of the Fed amid worries that tariffs are hurting the economy.
- Key data included the S&P 500 gaining 0.8% in early trading, Dow Jones rising 310 points, Wayfair jumping 12.3%, and the unemployment rate worsening to 4.2%.
- These developments imply growing pressure on monetary policy to support growth, with Fed watchers expecting Chairman Powell to possibly cut rates at the upcoming September meeting.
