Good MorningThe equities market was poised to make a big move after Wednesday’s report on labor conditions from ADP. According to ADP data, the number of new jobs created in June topped 2.3 million to come in well above estimates. The June figure was bolstered by upward revisions to the previous month that added more than 5 million jobs to the two month total. Needless to say, the news foreshadowed a strong NFP report and fueled the stock market melt-up.
With a strong economic recovery all but assured, traders are turning their focus toward earnings. Signs are emerging the analyst community has misjudged the S&P 500 earnings potential and that means better than expected results for the Q2 reporting cycle and upward revisions to support share prices. The peak of the season is still a few weeks away but next week promises to bring more of the same.
