Stock futures are down this morning after a much stronger-than-expected July nonfarm payrolls report, signaling to investors the Federal Reserve is likely to stay in rate-hiking mode. The move in futures was relatively muted prior to the release of the labor market data.

The U.S. added 528,000 jobs in July, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday, far exceeding the Dow Jones estimate of 258,000 and countering other recent data that suggested the economic recovery is slowing down. The unemployment rate fell to 3.5%, when economists had expected it to remain steady at 3.6%. Wages rose 0.5% on a month-over-month basis, topping estimates for a 0.3% gain. The sector with the most job gains in July was leisure and hospitality, with payrolls growing by 96,000.

China said Friday it’s putting a stop to cooperation with the U.S. on issues including climate change and military relations after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi earlier this week visited Taiwan, the democratic island that Beijing claims as its own territory. China also imposed sanctions on Pelosi personally for the visit, which further stoked tensions between the world’s two largest economies. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken criticized China for launching missiles during military exercises near Taiwan this week, saying those actions represented an “extreme, disproportionate and escalatory” response.

U.S. futures are lower, European stocks are lower and Asian markets ended higher.
