24800 | ASX to rise after interest rate hopes boost US shares
Loading Higher rates and yields slow the economy, hurt prices for investments and raise the risk of something breaking within the financial system, such as the three high-profile US bank failures that rattled financial markets during the spring. “It was really fear that the Fed was going to go too far,” said Katie Nixon, chief investment officer for Northern Trust Wealth Management. The Fed put such pressure on the economy intentionally, hoping to starve inflation of its fuel. It wants the job market to cool, particularly pay raises going to workers. The Fed fears too-strong pay gains could create a vicious cycle that keeps inflation high.
Analysts said Friday’s jobs report offered encouraging signals for the Fed, with average hourly earnings rising less in October from September than expected, though it doesn’t mean the job is done. Treasury yields in the bond market tumbled immediately after the jobs report, releasing more of the pressure that had built up on Wall Street. The yield on the 10-year Treasury eased to 4.52 per cent from 4.67 per cent late Thursday and from more than five per cent last week, when it hit its highest level since 2007. |

Point spread betting outcomes
When placing a point spread wager, there are a few potential outcomes:
The favorite can cover the spread by winning by a margin greater than the specified point spread
The underdog can either win the game outright or lose by fewer points than the spread, thereby "covering" the spread themselves
There's the possibility of a "push," where the difference in the game's score exactly matches the point spread, resulting in the return of the original bet to all bettors
