Futures tied to the Fed's policy rate were pricing about an 80% probability of a quarter-point rate increase next month after the report, which showed the unemployment rate ticked down to 4.1% and employers added 165,000 jobs, more than twice what economists had anticipated. Before the report, traders were pricing about a 75% chance of a rate hike in December.
