U.S. trade found support despite the escalation of the war in the Middle East
and the market managed to post a slightly higher close. Traders are getting
ready for Friday's important U.S. employment report, and a weaker jobs market
could be the key to another rate cut of over 25 basis points at the Fed's next
meeting.
