Good MorningThe equities market rebounded on Wednesday but isn’t out of the woods yet. The market responded favorably to a round of better than expected earnings reports as well as comments from Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen walking back her statements from the day before. Tuesday Ms. Yellen said the Fed may need to raise rates to combat an overheating economy, Wednesday she said inflation wasn’t a problem despite growing signs of inflation within the economy.
Investors are closing watching the employment data this week. The ADP report was released on Wednesday and showed nearly 750,000 new jobs were created in April. While strong, the figure was below the consensus estimate and may foreshadow a weaker than expected NFP report on Friday. If the NFP is weaker than expected the market may react favorably due to its impact on the economic outlook, inflation, and interest rates.
