Wall Street rebounds after jobs drop
Wall Street markets experienced a slight rebound after a surprising decline in the U.S. labor market, where the American economy lost 23,000 jobs in July.

Stocks rose modestly as investorsfocused on how the employment data might influence monetary policy, amid concerns about the impact of oil market volatility resulting from tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and the escalating crisis between the United States and Iran.
