On Wednesday, U.S. stocks rose, nearing record levels, after a Labor Department report showed an unexpected improvement in the unemployment rate for the previous month. The S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq composite all experienced gains following the report, which indicated U.S. employers added 130,000 jobs, exceeding economists' expectations. Despite the positive jobs data, revisions to previous reports revealed a weaker jobs showing for 2025 than initially reported. Caterpillar and Exxon Mobil saw significant gains, while Moderna and Robinhood Markets experienced declines due to FDA scrutiny and revenue concerns, respectively. Kraft Heinz also sank despite reporting better results than expected.
