I'm Francesca Fontana.
Have a great weekend and see you next Saturday.
Hey, listeners.
It's Saturday, February 8th.
I'm Francesca Fontana for The Wall Street Journal, and this is What's News in Markets, our look at the biggest stock moves of the week and the news that drove them.
Let's get to it.
Welcome back.
Happy February.
The stock market had a totally mellow, lazy start to the month.
I'm kidding.
We had trade drama thanks to Trump tariffs and another spate of earnings reports.
We can talk about some of the winners and losers in those later, because right now we have a jobs report to unpack.
The Fed's in wait-and-see mode right now in terms of interest rate cuts, so it's watching key indicators like the health of the labor market.
And this jobs report was a mixed bag.
The unemployment rate ticked down, but jobs grew by less than expected.
In any case, not a showstopper and not likely to jumpstart any rate cuts.
All three of the major indexes ended slightly lower this week.
The Dow and Nasdaq each lost about half a percent, while the S&P 500 fell about a quarter of a percent.
So what stocks are the potential biggest losers of Trump's looming trade war?
