Good MorningThe trading week began with the market on uncertain footing. The S&P 500 fell more than 1% at the session's low but recovered the losses before the close. The cause is tariff uncertainty centered on Trump's April 2nd announcement. The market is bracing for the worst while hoping for the best, with volatility likely in the latter half of the week regardless. The risk is that tariff worry will bog down investment sentiment and lead the S&P into a deeper correction. As it is, the market index is down about 10% from its peak.
There are other risks for the stock market this week. While there are few earnings reports on the calendar, the schedule of economic releases is filled with labor market data. The data is expected to show sustained job growth, low unemployment, rising wages, and generally healthy conditions. The stock market correction could turn into an outright bear market if this changes. Featured: Trump’s Secret Money Exposed (Ad)
