- The September US jobs report is scheduled for release on Friday, and analysts project a slowdown in job growth during the month, according to CNBC and qz.com.
- Wall Street equity futures climbed ahead of the report while the bond market steadied, reflecting investor positioning as they awaited the employment data, per WSJ's live updates coverage.
