US STOCKS-Wall Street higher as wage data eases inflation fears

Fri, 09th Mar 2018 15:05

* Nonfarm payrolls increase by 313,000 in February

* Average hourly earnings rise 0.1 percent

* Indexes higher: Dow 0.52 pct, S&P 0.52 pct, Nasdaq 0.56pct

By Ankur Banerjee and Parikshit Mishra

March 9 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks gained on Friday afterpayrolls data showed strong job additions in February, but mutedwage growth indicated a gradual rise in inflation that temperedexpectations of faster interest rate increases.

Nonfarm payrolls jumped by 313,000 jobs last month, theLabor Department said, its biggest increase in more than 1-1/2years.

Average hourly earnings edged up four cents, or 0.1 percent,to $26.75 in February, a slowdown from the 0.3 percent rise inJanuary. That lowered the year-on-year increase in averagehourly earnings to 2.6 percent from 2.8 percent in January.

"The great news is the labor participation rate went up, theheadline numbers are great, and the average hourly earnings hassettled back down into consensus," said Art Hogan, chief marketstrategist at Wunderlich Securities in New York.

"It's a great report across the board and I think that movesmarkets higher."

Strong jobs data last month fueled speculation that higherwages could lead to faster interest rate increases by theFederal Reserve and make borrowing expensive, rattling globalequities market.

However, the slow wage growth in February could temperexpectations that the Fed will change its rate forecast to fourhikes this year from three.

The bull market for stocks turned nine years old on Fridayand, despite being long in the tooth, appears poised to set therecord as the longest in history, buoyed by global economicgrowth and stronger company earnings.

At 9:46 a.m. ET, the Dow Jones industrial average wasup 130.37 points, or 0.52 percent, the S&P 500 was up14.29 points, or 0.521729 percent.

The Nasdaq Composite was up 41.94 points, or 0.56percent, at 7,469.89.

U.S. Treasury yields hit session peaks after the data,although the rise could be limited by slowing wage inflation.

Signs of a potential breakthrough in nuclear tensions in theKorean peninsula also lifted sentiment, with world marketshitting one-week highs on Friday.

U.S. markets closed higher on Thursday after PresidentDonald Trump appeared to soften his stance on heavy importtariffs on steel and aluminum.

Worries that the tariffs on steel and aluminum could ignitea global trade war had roiled markets since last Thursday, withthe exit of chief economic adviser Gary Cohn intensifying theconcerns.
