U.S. STOCKS RISE IN EARLY TRADE ON STRONG PAYROLLS REPORT

U.S. stocks rose in the early stages of trading on Friday, although were off their initial highs, after a surprisingly strong September jobs report quelled any concerns about deterioration in the labor market.

Nonfarm payrolls increased by 254,000 jobs last month after rising by an upwardly revised 159,000 in August, the Labor Department said, well above the 140,000 estimate of economists polled by Reuters.

Markets have placed more importance on labor market data over inflation readings after Fed Chair Jerome Powell and other central bank officials recently said their top priority is to keeping the labor market stable over combating price pressures.

S&P sector gains were led by consumer discretionary.SPLRCD and financials .SPSY, while real estate .SPLRCR and utilities .SPLRCU are the sole decliners.

Stocks down the cap scale are outperforming the broader market, with the S&P Small Cap 600 .SPCY, Russell 2000 .RUT and S&P Mid Cap 400 .IDX all up around 1% or more.

Expectations the Fed will opt for follow up its upsized 50 basis point cut from its September meeting at its upcoming November meeting have shrunk to 8.2%, down from 32.1% in the prior session and 53.3% a week ago, according to CME's FedWatch Tool.
