My top 10 things to watch Friday, Dec. 6 1. The November jobs report came in strong, with 227,000 jobs added versus the Dow Jones consensus estimate for 214,000. The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.2%, as expected. Stock futures were little changed ahead of the report and moved up slightly after it hit. The market is now pricing in roughly 90% odds of a quarter-point cut at the Federal Reserve's policy meeting Dec. 18, up from about 70% before the report this morning. 2.
Analysts believe the steeper levies would push up prices and benefit companies like Seattle-based Weyerhaeuser that produce more in the U.S. 8. Ulta Beauty shares are jumping 10% after earnings were not as bad as expected. Beauty has been a real tough category of late. I like the way CEO Dave Kimbell is blocking and tackling here. Perhaps competition is lessening. JPMorgan upped its price target to $480 a share from $472. Barclays went to $410 from $335, but stayed at a hold rating. 9.
