The S&P 500 climbed on Thursday as investors digested new developments in U.S.-China trade relations. However, labor market data continued to flash warning signs, amplifying concerns about the economy ahead of Fridayβs key jobs report.
As of 11:16 AM ET, the Dow was up 77.98 points, or 0.1838%, at $42505.72. The Nasdaq Composite added 127.37 points, or 0.59%, at $21849.29. The S&P 500 rose 17.42 points, or 0.29%, at $5988.23. Among the 11 major S&P 500 sectors, 6 showed negative movement, with Consumer Defensive leading the way with a -2.24% decrease.
Weekly jobless claims came in at 247,000β8,000 higher than the prior week and exceeding estimates of 236,000. That followed Wednesdayβs disappointing ADP report, which showed private-sector payrolls rising by just 37,000 in May, well below the 110,000 forecast.
The weak labor data has raised the stakes for Fridayβs nonfarm payrolls report. Economists expect a gain of 125,000 jobs for the month, down sharply from Aprilβs total of 177,000.
Despite Thursdayβs volatility, all three major indexes remain on track for weekly gains. The S&P 500 is up nearly 1%, the Dow has added 0.1%, and the Nasdaq continues to outperform with a 1.7% weekly advance.
