Good MorningEquity markets pulled back on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 falling more than 1.25% at the session's low. The move lower was led by NVIDIA and big tech, which shed more than 5.5% for the session. NVIDIA opened with a gain driven by news from CEO Jenson Huang's CES keynote address but failed to hold the gains. The move confirms the presence of resistance at the critical all-time high level and sets this market up for a more considerable decline. The critical support for the S&P 500 is at 5,830.
The next hurdle for the market will come Friday. The NFP report is expected to show another month of steady job gains and rising wages and may be hotter than expected. Tuesday's JOLTs report was much better than expected, showing a robust increase in job openings and worker demand. In this environment, the NFP report could show improving labor market strength, bad news for interest rates, but good news for consumers and corporate profits.
