Ep17: Soft Rebound & Data Drama: Markets Snap Back Amid Jobs Turmoil — August 4th, 2025

from The Gentle Ledger - ASMR Financial News · host Morgan Thoreau

We explore August 4th, 2025—a day when U.S. markets rebounded after last week’s steep losses. The Dow rose 585 points, the S&P 500 gained 1.5%, and the Nasdaq climbed 2% as investors weighed a weak jobs report, rising unemployment, and expectations for a September Fed rate cut. We unpack political ripples from leadership changes at the BLS, ongoing trade tensions, and how global markets, commodities, and crypto responded.
