Shares of D.R. Horton Inc (NYSE:DHI) are trading higher Friday morning, boosted by a weaker-than-expected August jobs report that intensified investor bets on imminent interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. The U.S. economy added just 22,000 jobs, far below forecasts, signaling a significant labor market slowdown.
What To Know: This economic news is proving beneficial for the nation’s largest homebuilder. The prospect of the Fed cutting rates to stimulate the economy has already sent Treasury yields lower.
