Good MorningEquities traded in a very tight range on Thursday as traders braced for a very important NFP report. The report was expected to show a minimum of 1 million new jobs which is both good and bad for the market. In the bull case, a high number of new jobs is indicative of a rapidly improving economic situation. In the bear case, a high number of new jobs will put additional upward pressure on inflation and raise fears of higher interest rates. Based on the number of S&P 500 companies talking about price increases it looks like inflation is already here.
Next week could bring more volatility to the market. The earnings season is quieting down and there aren’t many economic releases but the ones there are will be closely watched. Topping the list are the CPI and PPI numbers for April, numbers that could either soothe or spook the market.
