US Stocks Dip Ahead of Fresh Jobs Data

The JOLTS report is released monthly and usually a month after the jobs report for the same reference period.

Wall Street kicked off December on an upbeat note, extending gains from the previous month that were driven by robust earnings and expectations that the Fed was done with its rate hiking campaign. The benchmark S&P 500 registered its highest close of the year on Friday as remarks from Fed Chair Jerome Powell bolstered the peak rates view.
