In the early morning of the 9th Beijing time, U. S. stocks closed down slightly on Friday. Investors are evaluating the much weaker-than-expected US non-farm payrolls data for September and its impact on Fed policy. The US Senate voted to raise the government's debt ceiling in the short term, temporarily alleviating the risk of default by the US government.

On Friday, the Dow closed down 8.69 points, or 0.03%, at 34746.25; the Nasdaq fell 74.48 points, or 0.51%, at 14579.54; and the S & P 500 fell 8.42 points, or 0.19%, at 4391.34.

This week, the s & p 500 is up 0.79%, the Dow is up 1.22%, and the Nasdaq is up 0.09%.

There were both positive and negative factors in the September non-farm payrolls data released on Friday morning-non-farm payrolls rose by only 194000, well below market expectations of 500000, but the unemployment rate fell to 4.6%, the lowest since the second half of 2016.

Some investors believe that the non-farm payrolls report is so weak that it is almost impossible for the Fed to decide to scale back its bond purchases in November. But some professionals point out that Fed policy makers may not care too much about the weak non-farm payrolls data in September and are expected to take the first step towards withdrawing stimulus at next month's monetary policy meeting.

The market is still weighing the potential risk of a US debt default. On Thursday night, the U.S. Senate voted to temporarily raise the government's debt ceiling to avoid default.
