Good MorningThe S&P 500 pulled back slightly on Thursday. The move comes after news that President Trump spoke with China's Xi Jinping and agreed to continue trade negotiations in hopes of reaching a consensus.

This week's labor data is positive but shows signs of strain. Those include a tepid JOLTS job openings report, weaker-than-expected ADP job gains, and a spike in layoffs. The spike in layoffs is the worst news, as they are broadening across sectors and reflect mounting uncertainty in the economic outlook. Friday's NFP report will be especially telling and potentially market-moving if the data underscores weakness in the other reports. Featured: Trump’s Currency Coup Exposed (Ad)
