U.S. stocks opened higher Friday after the Senate passed a bill to raise the federal debt ceiling and as investors digested an employment report showing stronger-than-expected job gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.7% soon after the opening bell, while the S&P 500 gained 0.6% and the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite climbed 0.7%, according to FactSet data, at last check. On Thursday night, the U.S. Senate voted in favor of the debt-ceiling bill, sending the measure to President Joe Biden to sign into law so the Treasury can avoid running out of cash to meet its obligations. Meanwhile, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday the U.S. added 339,000 jobs in May while the unemployment rate rose to 3.7%. Last month's job gains far exceeded forecasts for 190,000 new jobs.
在參議院通過提高聯邦債務上限的法案以及投資者消化了一份顯示就業增長強於預期的就業報告後，美國股市週五開盤走高。FactSet的數據顯示，道瓊斯工業平均指數在開盤後不久上漲了0.7％，而標準普爾500指數上漲了0.6％，以科技股爲主的納斯達克綜合指數上漲了0.7％。週四晚上，美國參議院投票贊成債務上限法案，將該措施提交總統喬·拜登簽署成爲法律，這樣財政部就可以避免用盡現金來履行其義務。同時，美國勞工統計局週五表示，美國在5月份增加了33.9萬個工作崗位，而失業率上升至3.7％。上個月的就業增長遠遠超過了19萬個新工作崗位的預期。
