Good MorningEquity markets moved down to set a two-week on Thursday, ahead of the much-anticipated August labor market report. The report is expected to show resilient labor market conditions, with jobs growing by 160,000 and unemployment falling. The risk is twofold: As-expected data may keep the FOMC from lowering interest rates as hoped, while weak data could ignite fear of a recession. Markets are likely to continue falling in either scenario.
The S&P 500 shows a double top formation. The question is whether the market has turned a corner into a trading range or made a sharper turn and will head lower. The 5,500 is the critical level for Friday trading, and a large move is expected. The VIX shows an elevated level of fear, indicating an increased chance of volatility, if not a move lower for the S&P 500. Featured: Buffett to put 90% of his money in this one stock? (Ad)
