TradingMarkets Mid-Day Movers


Despite looming interest rate
hikes, stocks rally on positive jobs numbers; markets are trading up after the
morning session.

Numbers released by the Labor Department show that
non-farm payroll and average hourly pay increased while unemployment numbers
decreased last month.

Crude oil futures traded slightly lower, down
fractionally.
