Good MorningThe equities markets got a boost on Friday after a stronger than expected non-farm payrolls report. The headline figure of 4.8 million was far above analysts’ estimates and has added fuel to the market’s melt-up. The down shot is that news related to the COVID-19 pandemic helped cap gains. Word of new record levels of cases in the U.S. has the markets worried about another round of economic interruption and the impact on earrings.
Despite the worry, Friday’s action was bullish as it set a new high and closed above the previous day’s action. The candle, a small doji, is a sign of indecision but one that will likely lead to higher prices over the next few weeks. With the reopening underway, economic data is going to be strong and that will drive bullish sentiment as the 2nd quarter earnings cycle gets underway.
