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 it’s a good reason to get any shopping done now for the next few months, as any strike-related shutdown may end quickly, but could still create reverberations that last for months. For traders, it’s also a sign that any company dependent on getting goods into store shelves may suffer lost sales if the goods aren’t there. In today’s volatile markets, that could be a safe spot to make downside bets in the coming weeks.
