Good MorningThe broad market S&P 500 rallied nearly 3.0% on Monday after economic indicators came in hotter than expected. On the manufacturing front, the ISM gauge of manufacturing came in at 60.8% and nearly 2% better than expected while on the housing front, a 1.7% increase in construction spending was more than double the consensus. Adding fuel to the fire? The rate on the ten-year treasury pulled back from last week’s high as fears of inflation begin to subside.
The big risk for the market this week is the nonfarm payroll report. The market is expecting an increase of 218,000 and the number could be far larger than that. A strong job number and, more specifically a hot wage figure, could renew fear of inflation and send the market hedging lower once again. Until then, investors should be prepared for more Fed-speak and the market volatility it induces.
