US stocks wobbled on Thursday as investors digested more weaker-than-expected labor market data that could help set expectations for both interest rate cut hopes and the health of the US economy. The S&P 500 dipped 0.3%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 200 points, or around 0.5%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite wavered between positive and negative territory throughout the day before finishing up more than 0.2%.

The market is torn between conflicting impulses as data releases paint a downbeat picture of the economy. Recent soft readings make the case for deeper rate cuts.
