Stocks in Europe and parts of Asia were up after a week of trading dominated by updates on antitrust difficulties confronting Big Tech and fears over the more virulent Delta type of coronavirus in Europe, as investors looked for the next market driver. “The next catalyst for investors will be today’s US jobs report, which could provide some insight on the state of the recovery as well as the Federal Reserve’s anticipated monetary policy plans,” said Jim Reid, a strategist at Deutsche Bank. Nonfarm payrolls, which measure the number of workers in the United States excluding those in agriculture and a few other jobs, are expected to increase by 700,000 or more, according to Reid. According to Reid, this should help reduce the jobless rate in the United States by a tenth, to a post-Covid-19 epidemic low of 5.7 percent. “That would still leave total nonfarm payrolls -6.9 million below their February 2020 level, implying that we have a long way to go before we return to pre-Covid normalcy,” Reid continued.
