Trading was muted this morning after a lackluster jobs report was released. The economy added just 194,000 jobs in September, well below the 500,000 that economists expected. A bleaker jobs picture could stall the Federal Reserve as it prepares to taper its $120 billion-per-month bond-buying program.
“This jobs number could call into question the starting point for taper later this year,” said Jamie Cox, Managing Partner for Harris Financial Group.
