👀Traders Put All Eyes on March👀

Good morning. Going into Friday’s job reports, a full 86 percent of market participants queried... It’s the monthly jobs numbers today and they’re not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May. [Trading Tips] Good morning. Going into Friday’s job reports, a full 86 percent of market participants queried believed that the Federal Reserve would hike interest rates in March. Such a move, coming off of last week’s hawkish meeting minutes, would mean going from 0 percent interest rates to 0.25 percent. While not a huge move, it would be a sign that the economy is performing well and that the job market is getting close to normal. While the latest jobs numbers had a big miss on Friday, enough jobs were created to drop the unemployment rate down to 3.9 percent. Sure, the Fed is still winding down its bond buying program, so a March rate hike still sounds a bit aggressive. But by pricing it in now, the market is getting poised for a bigger move higher in the months ahead.
