The major indexes stumbled Wednesday morning as the most recent employment data came in well below expectations, causing investors to consider the strength of the U.S. economy.
The ADP private payrolls report showed 145,000 jobs added for the month of March. That’s below both the previous month’s number of 261,000, and the estimate for 210,000.
These numbers suggest the jobs market is cooling off and the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes are working as intended.
In this morning’s stock market recap video, I’ll give an overview of when I use the 20-day versus 50-day momentum levels… which sectors are most vulnerable right now… why bonds and energy stocks are going higher — it’s not why you think… what to expect from Fed data in the next few days… global market analysis and why it’s important to look at the big picture… plus the top long stocks and bottom weak stocks I’m looking to trade right now.
