  Markets are cheering the jobs report, which easily topped expectations, this morning. In addition to a falling unemployment rate, the U.S. Department of Labor announced that U.S. hourly earnings increased by 0.3%. This report could provide the U.S. Federal Reserve with additional reasons to raise interest rates as concerns about inflation persist. The Fed has said it will raise interest rates two more times in 2018. However, the market has priced in a 30% chance that the Fed hikes rates three additional times. U.S. President Donald Trump has fired the opening rounds of a possible trade war. The United States hit the European Union, Canada, and Mexico with tariffs on steel and aluminum. Canada responded yesterday with retaliatory measures to target similar U.S. products. Crude oil prices fell Friday as markets continue to eye OPEC's next move. According to reports, Saudi Arabia and Russia have discussed plans to increase total production by 1 million barrels per day. The uptick would aim to address falling production in Venezuela and U.S. sanctions in Iran. The rumors come as U.S. production is sitting at near-record highs and is rivaling the output of Russia. These factors are part of a wider list of issues that will only continue to press oil prices lower in the months ahead.

  Here's what you need to know.

  The Top Cryptocurrency Stories for May 14, 2018 China will soon release an official report on about 30 decentralized currencies. "This independent analysis of cryptocurrencies and global public blockchain technology demonstrates the confidence of the Chinese government in the technology, and will act as a guide," regulators said. Markets are also keeping an eye on Facebook Inc. (Nasdaq: FB). Last week, Cheddar reported that the social media giant is considering the creation of its own cryptocurrency. The development is surprising, given that the company had banned advertising related to cryptocurrencies earlier this year. The Facebook cryptocurrency would be used to facilitate payments on its platform. It's worth noting that the head of the group that is exploring the Facebook coin is a board member of the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase. Will cryptocurrencies be part of a future bailout or economic stimulus effort by the U.S. Federal Reserve? That was suggested in new report by research analysts at Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS). The Wall Street investment bank suggests that state-sponsored cryptocurrencies could allow central banks to press interest rates into negative territory. "Freely circulating paper notes and coins (cash) limits the ability of the central banks to force negative deposit rates," the report reads. "A digital version of cash could theoretically allow negative deposit rates to be charged on all money in circulation within any economy." Finally, markets are reacting positively to the announcement that ING Bank and HSBC Holdings Plc. (NYSE: HSBC) engaged in their first trade ever using blockchain technology. The two engaged in a trade on behalf of Cargill to finance a shipment of soybeans from Argentina to Malaysia.
