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. Next year will likely see the Fed pivot away from its interest rate hikes, which should lead to a market rally in 2023. However, a number of issues at play could still weigh on some parts of the market. One area is in food production. Two-thirds of European fertilizer production has been shut down this year, which could lead to lower crop production next year. And exports for fertilizers and crops from Ukraine remain uncertain. That suggests higher food prices, which tends to lead to reduced spending in other parts of the economy. While America is food independent, higher prices will still be in play as well.
