Vancouver, B.C., Canada (April 1, 2011) – Clearlease.com Reports Stocks moved higher at the start of trading on Friday, as a better than expected monthly employment report generated some positive sentiment. The major averages all moved to the upside after ending the previous session on opposite sides of unchanged line.
The early strength in the markets comes after the Labor Department released a report showing that U.S. employment increased by more than expected in March, with the continued job growth pulling the unemployment rate down to a two-year low.
The report said non-farm payroll employment increased by 216,000 jobs in March following an upwardly revised increase of 194,000 jobs in February. Economists had expected employment to increase by about 200,000 jobs compared to the addition of 192,000 jobs originally reported for the previous month.
Additionally, the Labor Department said that the unemployment rate edged down to 8.8 percent in March from 8.9 percent in February. The modest decrease surprised economists, who had expected the unemployment rate to remain at 8.9 percent.
In other news, Nasdaq OMX (NDAQ) and Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) have teamed up and offered to acquire NYSE Euronext (NYX), the operator of the New York Stock Exchange, for $42.50 per share in cash and stock or a total of approximately $11.3 billion.
Nasdaq and ICE said that their proposal represents a 19 percent premium over the price proposed by Deutsche Boerse, which offered to acquire NYSE Euronext for about $10 billion in February.
Transportation stocks have shown a notable move to the upside in early trading, with Alexander & Baldwin (ALEX) leading the way higher on news that hedge fund manager William Ackman’s Pershing Square Capital Management has purchased an 8.6 percent stake in the company.
Housing and oil service stocks are also seeing early strength, moving to the upside along with most of the major sectors. Nonetheless, buying interest remains relatively subdued.
The major averages have pulled back off their highs for the young session but currently remain positive. The Dow is up 44.28 points or 0.4 percent at 12,364.01, the Nasdaq is up 9.28 points or 0.3 percent at 2,790.35 and the S&P 500 is up 7.07 points or 0.5 percent at 1,332.90.
