Strong U.S. employment report bolsters interest rate speculation

In this week’s market update:

  • Why Friday’s strong U.S. jobs report gives more fuel to speculation that investors will see interest rates begin to rise in September
  • How might the broader U.S. economy benefit from the U.S. jobs number
  • Why Greece continues to be the word driving uncertainty across the European economy

On this week’s Market Week in Review video, Chief Investment Strategist Erik Ristuben discusses Friday’s strong U.S. employment report and its expected impact on both interest rate hikes and the broader economy.

Mark Soupiset hosts this week’s market update, which also examines the slow week in European equity markets and why the Greek debt situation continues to cause a political – and economic – challenge for lawmakers there.
