Stocks are seeing support from today's stronger-than-expected US unemployment report, which raised hopes for continued firm US economic growth. However, stocks were undercut as the 10-year T-note rose by +6 bp to 4.33% on the unemployment report, and as the chances for a Fed rate cut at the next meeting on July 29-30 fell to 6% from 23% on Wednesday.
