Wall Street is digesting a better-than-expected March jobs report. The U.S. economy added 303,000 jobs in March, higher than the 213,000 expected by economists. The unemployment dropped to 3.8%, which is in line with expectations. The news comes after the major indices (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) closed steeply in the red yesterday, with the Dow experiencing its worst session in over a year. The selling comes as oil (CL=F) remains on track for its second straight week of gains. Yahoo Finance trending tickers include Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), HubSpot (HUBS), and Palantir (PLTR).
