Sono-Tek is trading 6.19% up at $6.18, in line with a broadly stronger market following softer U.S. labor data. - September payrolls increased by just 29,000, below expectations, while unemployment edged up to 4.2%. - Investors interpreted the softer data as easing pressure for further Fed rate hikes; Reuters reported the jobs report fueled a bounce in stocks and bonds. - Sono-Tek’s September 30 record order is earlier company news, not a confirmed fresh catalyst for this move.
