GLOBAL MARKETS-Stocks jump, yields drop as Fed cut hopes bloom
A gauge of global stocks rallied while Treasury yields fell on Friday after a U.S. payrolls report was softer than anticipated, easing concerns the Federal Reserve would keep interest rates higher for longer. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 175,000 last month, the lowest since October 2023, and short of the 243,000 estimate of economists polled by Reuters. Recent data on inflation and the labor market had fueled concerns the Fed could would be forced to keep rates higher for longer than the market was anticipating, or even raise rates again.

RBA to hold rates in May, only cut once by end-year- Reuters poll
Australia's central bank will hold its key policy rate at 4.35% for a fourth straight meeting on Tuesday and at least until end-September, according to a Reuters poll of economists who forecast just one interest rate cut this year. That change in expectations from two 25 basis point cuts in an April survey follows news inflation fell less than expected last quarter and the labour market remains tight. Although inflation slowed to 3.6% from 4.1% previously, it was not expected to fall below the Reserve Bank of Australia's 2-3% target range until 2025, suggesting the central bank will have to hold rates higher for longer.

US stands to lose Canadian natural gas when LNG Canada terminal starts up
The start-up of LNG Canada, the country's first such export terminal, is likely to strain its natural gas supplies for multiple years and force producers to reduce exports to the U.S., where demand for the fuel is record high, companies said.
