Good MorningThe stock markets went on a wild ride on Friday to close out a down week for the broad indices. The move was sparked by a much-better-than-expected non-farm-payrolls number that at once spooked and inspired the market. The figure, 379,000, is more than double the consensus expectations and points to a strong economic recovery in 2021. While great news for the economy, the news also solidifies fears of rising inflation and casts a shadow on the outlook.
The S&P 500 was down more than 1% at the low of the day but closed well off of that level. The intraday low put the market briefly in official correction territory before a more-bullish attitude took over the market. By the end of the day, the market had recovered the losses and more but is still not out of the woods. If the broad market S&P 500 can’t reclaim the upper side of the 30-day moving average deeper losses could be in store.
