Strong Jobs Gain, Yet Supply Gaps Cloud Market Rally

April payrolls rose 115,000 with unemployment at 4.3% and wages up 3.6%, even as labor-force participation falls and the labor share of income hits a record low; markets hit new highs on earnings and tech leadership, but El-Erian warns a geoeconomic ceiling could emerge if energy tensions persist and inequality worsens. Consumer confidence is at a record low despite spending, and the Fed is expected to hold rates for now with Warsh taking the helm while Powell stays on the board.

US job growth surprises again, fueling hopes for a Fed pause

The US added 115,000 jobs in April, beating economists’ expectations for the second straight month, while the unemployment rate stayed at 4.3%. Revisions show three-month average gains of about 48,000, hinting the labor market remains sturdy. Strong hiring in retail and transportation/warehousing helped lift stocks, even as wage growth was modest and energy prices rose on a Middle East tensions-driven spillover. The report supports the view that the Fed may hold rates steady for now, with some economists anticipating slower hiring later in the year.
