December E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average futures rallied to another record level on Friday after the October jobs report came in better than expected, boosting optimism about the economic recovery. The strong rebound in the market negated the possible negative implications of yesterday’s divergent closing price reversal top.

At 18:51 GMT, December E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are trading 36218, up 209 or +0.58%.

Helping to support the blue chip average was data that showed job gains for the month of October totaled 531,000, Consensus estimates called for 450,000 jobs added, according to Dow Jones. The report also revised September’s disappointing number up to 312,000 job gains from 194,000 previously, and increased its August number by a similar amount.
