Briefly: The official June labor market report for the United States indicates mixed conditions, showing robust employment growth but a slowdown in wage increases, which may support expectations for upcoming interest rate cuts.

So: In June, the U.S. economy added 206,000 new jobs, a reduction from the downwardly revised 218,000 in May, according to data released Friday.

Basically: Nonfarm payrolls increased by 206,000 last month, slowing down by 12,000 from May, but above economist expectations of 189,000, with predictions ranging from 150,000 to 237,000. Here’s what the numbers mean for the Fed’s inflation target and potential rate cuts.

Briefly: Shares of electric-vehicle maker Tesla, Inc. TSLA rose in premarket trading on Friday, signaling that they could extend their winning streak to an eighth straight session.

So: The premarket gains reflect the continuation of the momentum the stock has picked up since late-June. The stock broke out of a trading range around the time, in anticipation of the company’s second-quarter deliveries beating the lowered bar. With the number surprising to the upside, investors largely ignored the fact that sales fell for the second straight quarter.

Basically: Bullish analysts have stepped up their rhetoric that the company has turned the corner and is positioning for outperformance in the second-half of the year. Here’s where the experts see the stock heading to next.
