0851 ET - U.S. stocks futures add to early gains after the January payrolls report handily tops expectations. The government says job gains occurred in health care, social assistance, and construction, while federal government and financial activities lost jobs. Health care alone added 82,000 jobs in January. Job growth in health care averaged 33,000 per month in 2025. The report may take pressure off the Federal Reserve to trim rates near-term.S&P futures are up 35 points. (patrick.sheridan@wsj.com)
