The US added fewer jobs than expected in September and wage growth slowed, signaling some caution among employers amid rising costs.
Nonfarm payrolls increased 29,000 last month after a downward revision to the prior two months, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data out Friday. That missed all estimates in a Bloomberg survey of economists.
The unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, partly reflecting a growing workforce.
Bloomberg’s Tom Keene and Paul Sweeney get reaction from:
Claudia Sahm, Chief Economist at New Century Advisors

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.
On today's podcast:
1) The Pentagon is deploying an additional aircraft carrier and 10,000 sailors and Marines to the Persian Gulf, giving American commanders more options if President Donald Trump chooses to escalate attacks on Iran. The USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier is headed to the Middle East, and when it arrives, the US could again have three carrier strike groups in the region. The US has sent two additional missile batteries to protect oil and gas facilities in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, and the USS Makin Island amphibious readiness group has set sail to the Middle East, giving Centcom additional options.
2) Broadcom's Wall Street syndicate are starting to gather $60 billion of fresh AI chip financing to benefit Anthropic PBC and other companies. Banks are poised to send out syndication letters for a $42 billion Class A senior-secured tranche, and Blackstone Inc. is leading an $18 billion tranche of Class B junior debt. The financing would help firms including Anthropic access chips and other key AI infrastructure, and adds to the hundreds of billions of dollars of debt already raised to build out AI infrastructure.
3) Stocks climbed and sovereign bonds were broadly firm in calmer trading after a week in which markets were lashed by sharp swings in yields. A decline in oil prices supported the upbeat sentiment, with Brent crude falling more than 2% below $100 a barrel. The US jobs report is a key economic release at a time when resilient data are supporting riskier assets while giving the Fed room to fight inflation.

On today's podcast:

1) A FlyDubai aircraft was attacked by one of its pilots, who stabbed or hit the other pilot with an ax, before being overwhelmed by passengers. The plane made an emergency landing at a Saudi airport after taking a sudden steep dive, and the United Arab Emirates attorney-general has ordered an investigation into the incident. The investigation will examine the circumstances and motives behind the attack, including whether it was linked to any terrorist activity, and the airline has suspended flights to and from Israel while the investigation continues.

2) President Trump said former Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell should resign from the central bank's Board of Governors over findings the central bank mismanaged the renovation of its headquarters. The Fed's internal watchdog found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing and didn't identify any "administrative misconduct" connected to the $2.4 billion project, but outlined a series of management missteps that caused the project's cost to balloon. Trump directed Attorney General Todd Blanche to study the inspector general's report "and make a determination as to what to do," and said Powell should be forced to resign or sued by the United States Government for "corruption or incompetence."

3) The US benchmark yield climbed to the highest since 2002 as rising oil prices drove a renewed selloff in global bonds. Government debt has been flailing around the world as elevated oil prices ripple through the global economy, pushing investors to bet central banks will further raise interest rates. Investors will seek clues on the US economy's health and the next Federal Reserve steps from Friday's payroll numbers and a list of Fed speakers.

On today's podcast:
1) President Trump endorsed using outside auditors to assess the safety of artificial intelligence systems through an accord with Silicon Valley leaders. The accord, which carries no legal weight, commits AI companies to regularly meet to set best practices for the industry and implement internal controls for risks related to cybersecurity and other threats. The document suggests that AI companies "should" implement four layers of controls and notes that "it may make sense to codify" its recommendations into law or regulation in the future.
2) OpenAI aims to raise at least $30 billion from investors in a new round of funding, according to people familiar with the matter, after pushing back its plans for an initial public offering. The company is seeking a valuation of around $1.4 trillion, not including the money raised, and the fundraising discussions are early and could change. OpenAI has seen strong revenue growth, with its revenue run rate accelerating over the summer and topping $40 billion, and the company's run rate revenue has grown by 70% since July.
3) Crude oil flows from the Middle East are returning toward pre-war levels despite continued risks to shipping, according to JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs. Shipments of crude oil have rebounded to 17.5 million barrels a day, or 98% of pre-war levels, while flows of products such as diesel and gasoline were at 3 million barrels a day, or 58%, according to JPMorgan. The global oil market is roughly balanced in September, according to Goldman Sachs, which estimates that oil exports from the Persian Gulf had recovered to 23.3 million barrels a day over the last week.
