All eyes are on the crucial monthly jobs report that could shift the needle on the timing of interest rate cuts.

Stocks climbed on Friday after the February jobs report showed an uptick in the unemployment rate, bolstering investor confidence that the Federal Reserve will cut rates following its June meeting. The S&P 500 rose 0.3% on the heels of another record close logged Thursday, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased by 0.2%.
