The major indexes rose Thursday morning as investors process this week’s comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and look ahead to Friday’s jobs report.

Powell confirmed that the central bank might need to raise rates higher for longer than previously expected, but said no decision has been made for the upcoming March meeting.

Some economists expect a positive surprise Friday. This would be bad news for the market, as it would give the Fed cause to move ahead with more aggressive rate hikes.

In this morning’s stock market recap video, I’ll discuss why I believe stocks have more chop left in them… which companies report earnings today… why I love how Japan is handling the weakness in its economy… an update on Fed data on the table and what I believe it will do next… a clear technical picture of stocks and bonds for next few sessions… my top ETF that shows strong upside potential… plus three ETFs that show potential weakness ahead!

P.S. Will This Be the Biggest Cash Flood on Record?

Something shocking is about to happen on Wall Street.

And it could result in the biggest cash flood on record in the U.S. stock market…

Investors have more than $4.5 trillion in cash stashed inside money market accounts, just waiting for the right moment to get back into stocks.

I’ve singled out stocks to avoid during this coming cash flood, as well as where I believe the money is going to end up. And I just revealed it all during a special live event!
