BY Reuters | ECONOMIC | 11/01/24 08:37 AM EDT

Nov 1 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures slightly pared gains on Friday after job additions in October were much lower than estimated, while the unemployment rate remained steady.

A Labor Department report showed nonfarm payrolls rose 12,000 in October, compared with an estimate of 113,000, according to economists polled by Reuters.

The unemployment rate stood at 4.1%, as forecast.

Dow E-minis were up 169 points, or 0.4%, S&P 500 E-minis were up 28 points, or 0.49%, and Nasdaq 100 E-minis were up 108.75 points, or 0.54%. (Reporting by Lisa Mattackal in Bengaluru; Editing by Pooja Desai)

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
