Here are five key things investors need to know to start the trading day.
June jobs report:
US payrolls rose by 57,000, missing expectations
The US economy added 57,000 jobs last month, fewer than economists had anticipated, government data shows. The unemployment rate dipped slightly to 4.2%, its lowest level in a year.
Economists surveyed by Bloomberg had expected the Labor Department's employment situation report to post a gain of 113,000 jobs at the year's midway point, with the unemployment rate remaining flat at 4.3% for the fourth consecutive month, after a string of better-than-predicted government data releases and a mixed week for private data.
