U.S. nonfarm payrolls surge 162,000 in August, sparking Fed rate hike bets

Treasury yields jumped in response, with the 10-year $US10Y yield climbing as traders repriced rate-hike probabilities. Equity futures pared gains amid concerns that persistent labor strength may forestall aggressive policy easing. #economie #marche #derives
