Stock market today: Live updates

U.S. equity futures were relatively unchanged on Tuesday as traders digested the release of November’s jobs report.

Futures tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average traded around the flatline. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq 100 futures were also flat.

November’s jobs report came in better than expected, showing an increase of 64,000 for the month, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones predicted that nonfarm payrolls would grow by 45,000 in the period.

However, payrolls were down 105,000 in October, and the unemployment rate increased to 4.6%, above the Dow Jones forecast for 4.5%.

The three benchmark U.S. indexes closed Monday in the red, pressured by losses in key artificial intelligence names.

Broadcom lost 5.6% during Monday’s session, while software company ServiceNow sank 11.5% and Oracle fell 2.7%. Microsoft shares also ended the session lower as investors continued to take profits from high-flying AI trades and move into other areas of the market, including health care and utilities. The U.S. stock market is still heading for a winning year with gains across each of the eleven S&P 500 sectors.

“I think for the next four, five, six months, there is some runway here when you look at the real economy corners of the market,” Chris Verrone, head of technical and macro research at Strategas, said Monday on CNBC’s “Closing Bell.”

“The groups that I think are starting to inflect here have shown us that,” he added. “Where have we seen the new high expansion? Industrials, financials, discretionary, materials. There’s a very real economy feel to this.”
