• U.S. gains 263,000 jobs in September to mark smallest gain in 17 months

  Stock futures fell on Friday morning as traders evaluated September’s jobs report, which showed the unemployment rate continuing to decline and sparked an increase in interest rates.
  
  Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell 300 points, or 1%. S&P 500 futures lost 1.3%, while futures tied to the Nasdaq 100 slipped 1.8%.
  
  Friday’s jobs numbers showed the U.S. economy added 263,000 jobs in September, slightly below a Dow Jones estimate of 275,000. However, the unemployment rate came in at 3.5%, down from the 3.7% in the previous month in a sign that the jobs picture continues to strengthen even as the Federal Reserve tries to slow the economy with rate hikes to stem inflation.
  
  The falling unemployment rate sparked a jump in rates, in turn weighing on futures. The 2-year year Treasury yield jumped 8 basis points to 4.31%. (1 basis point equals 0.01%.)
