Good MorningEquity markets continue to fall on Wednesday despite an early morning attempt to rebound. The S&P 500 fell more than 0.25% at the session low, a small decline but one that put it below the 30-day moving average. At this level, there is a risk that short-term traders will start selling the market and turn a small price pullback into a much larger one.
Among the causes for market softness was a weaker-than-expected JOLTs report. The JOLTs report tracks job openings and shows job availability decreasing, raising the risk of a labor-led recession. Job losses will compound in that scenario, causing a significant pullback in consumer spending and leading the S&P 500 into a tailspin as the earnings outlook is reassessed. The caution is that a single data point or month of data is not a trend and labor markets remain healthy on balance.
