Listless trading seen as investors await US job data


NEW YORK: Wall Street investors may find little reason to make big moves next week as they await monthly US jobs data and any news that could change expectations for the first interest rate hike in almost a decade.

The Labour Department report is due on Friday, when the stock market will be closed for Good Friday, leaving investors unable to trade on the data until the following week.
