Good MorningEquity markets continued their decline on Thursday as uncertainty rocked the economic outlook. On the one hand, economic data remains strong, while on the other, the uncertain impact of Trump's policies has begun to show in the economic data, and tariff threats are rising. The S&P 500 shed about 2.0% at the session's low, touching price points not seen since before the November 2024 presidential election.
It could be another tough day for the market on Friday. The NFP payroll will likely show the impact of Trump's government job reduction plans; the question is their lingering impact. If private sector job growth remains resilient, the effect could be minimal. If not, the U.S. economy is on track for a potentially deep recession, but good news exists. A recession would put an end to stubbornly hot inflation. Featured: 5 dividend stocks worth owning in any market condition (Ad)
