Stocks Surge 0.76% On Positive Jobs Data Bitcoin Stable

Stocks surged to record highs following the release of positive jobs data, which sparked a market rally. However, Bitcoin remained relatively stable, showing minimal movement despite the broader market optimism. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the economy created 147,000 jobs in June, surpassing expectations of 110,000 jobs and a predicted unemployment rate increase to 4.3%. Instead, the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%.

This positive economic news led to a significant rally in the stock market, with the S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow all surging by 0.76%, 0.89%, and 0.77% respectively. The DXY index, which measures the strength of the U.S. dollar against a basket of currencies, gained 0.4%, further boosting investor sentiment. Despite this optimism, Bitcoin's price remained steady, hovering around $109,000 and briefly crossing $110,000 at about 10am. This stability suggests that investors may be taking a cautious approach to the cryptocurrency market amid the broader economic optimism.
