U.S. stocks inched higher yet again today despite a slightly weaker-than-expected jobs report. The country added 156,000 jobs last month, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, below average estimates for around 170,000, casting doubt on whether the U.S. Federal Reserve would begin reducing its balance sheet as expected later this month.

Nonetheless, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) and the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) both mustered a small gain heading into the long weekend.
