Good MorningThe equities markets were mixed on Monday following the big surge late in the day on Friday. The S&P 500 was mostly flat while the Dow Jones led with a small gain and the NASDAQ lagged with a small loss. Traders are optimistic about a global economic recovery but have their eyes focused firmly on the data. This week brings several important economic data points including Tuesday’s read on consumer confidence and Wednesday’s pending home sales.
The most important data for the week will be the employment data. From the ADP to the Challenger report, jobless claims, and the NFP, traders are looking for positive signs of job gains and labor market improvement. A strong labor market means a strong consumer and that is crucial for a strong economic recovery. In other news, traders cheered the freeing of the container ship Evergreen and its impact on the global supply chain.
