Stock markets start the session with an optimistic tone after the release of employment figures in the United States that exceeded expectations.

The Dow Jones and the S&P 500 are advancing, as investors digest the implications for the Fed's monetary policy.

The technology sector leads the gains, with companies like Nvidia and Microsoft recording increases of over 2%. The improvement in the labor market reduces the likelihood of aggressive rate cuts, which favors high-growth companies. Analysts point out that the strength of employment could delay any dovish shift by the Federal Reserve, maintaining pressure on financing costs for startups and developers.

The market rises and the investor believes it's all over 🍾

Of course, with two days in the green, there are already those popping champagne and forgetting that a week ago we were on the brink of the precipice. The joy lasts as long as an Elon Musk tweet, but at least today we can look at our portfolio without wanting to delete the banking app. That said, don't let your guard down: the labor market is doing well, but your savings account is still crying silently.
