Good MorningThe equities market went on a wild ride to end the week on Friday. The broad market S&P 500, led by the tech sector, shed more than 3.0% on an intraday basis only to bounce back by the close. The move is a sign the market is still susceptible to bearishness but that bulls are in control. In the technical sense, Friday’s price action created a very large Hammer Doji which is often considered a sign that selling is over.
The non-farm payrolls report may have played a part in Friday’s action. The report showed 1.4 million new jobs were created in August as the economic rebound continues to roll forward. Unemployment fell more than 1.0% and is now at the lowest level since the pandemic struck. Next week, the markets face a holiday-shortened week but no less important with important reads on consumer and producer-level inflation.
