Stock futures rose in morning trading Friday after the October jobs report came in better than expected, boosting optimism about the economic recovery.

Futures on the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 120 points, while S&P 500 futures gained 0.4% and Nasdaq 100 futures climbed 0.3%.

The move for stocks came as job gains for the month of October came in at 531,000. Consensus estimates called for 450,000 jobs added, according to Dow Jones. The report also revised September’s disappointing number up to 312,000 job gains from 194,000 previously, and increased its August number by a similar amount.

“Markets are cheering a much better than expected jobs report this morning as nonfarm payrolls smashed expectations,” said Cliff Hodge, chief investment officer at Cornerstone Wealth. “Gains were broad-based across industries, and manufacturing was a real bright spot.”

The jobs report was not the only optimistic economic news to reach the market on Friday.

Peloton shares cratered more than 32% in premarket trading after the fitness platform and maker of interactive treadmills and exercise bikes reported a much larger loss than expected and cut its full-year outlook as fitness buffs headed back to the gym and away from at-home workouts.

The company also cited ongoing supply chain challenges for its “challenged visibility” over the near term that CEO John Foley said is causing the company to lower its expectations.

Recovery stock Expedia saw its shares roar higher by 11.6% premarket a day after the company said renewed travel demand boosted its top and bottom lines higher than analysts had expected.

The technology sector led the S&P 500, up 1.5% Thursday. Financials lagged with a 1.3% loss.
