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, and happy Labor Day. Friday’s payroll data showed that the US economy grew by 315,000 jobs last month. That’s just over expectations for a rise of 300,000. Overall, that’s good news. And most of the time, the market would cheer that on, as more jobs means more people being paid, and more spending in the economy as a result. This time, however, is a bit different. That’s because the Fed is working to fight inflation. And in order to fight inflation, people need to spend less. For that to happen in aggregate, there need to be fewer jobs. This latest data likely sealed the deal for a 0.75 percent interest rate hike later this month, and raised the chances of rates continuing to rise into the end of the year. That’s bad news for assets like stocks and bonds. Traders should lighten up long-side trades, and investors should continue to look for trades that can benefit from a further decline in stocks.

Inflation and recession are typically accompanied by lower market multiples and markets need to reassess valuation as interest rates rise. A successful test of June lows may also prove important as the double-bottom formation could help alleviate fears of further volatility in the months ahead. We believe consensus profit forecasts for next year are too high and technical support will be necessary as forecasts come down. - John Lynch, chief investment officer at Comerica Wealth Management, on why the market may form a double-bottom in the weeks ahead as stocks re-test the June lows.
