The November jobs report showed a rebound in payroll gains, with 227,000 jobs added, despite a slight increase in the unemployment rate to 4.2%. This data supports expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut on December 18, with market odds for the cut rising to 89%. The S&P 500 futures rose slightly, indicating a stable labor market but not a reacceleration. The Fed is likely to pause further rate cuts after December, as inflation remains a concern.
