JP Morgan drops December rate-cut forecast on strong US jobs report

(Reuters) -J.P. Morgan mirrored Morgan Stanley in withdrawing its forecast for a 25-basis-point Federal Reserve rate cut in December following a stronger-than-expected US jobs report.

In a note released late Thursday, the Wall Street brokerage said it still expects the next rate cuts to occur in January and April.
