Jobs Report Preview (Too Hot is the Risk)
What’s in Today’s Report:
- Jobs Report Preview (Too Hot Is the Risk)
- EIA Analysis and Oil Market Update
Futures are modestly higher as markets digest yesterday’s dovish Fed rhetoric while data overnight was solid.
German Manufacturers’ Orders and Euro Zone Retail Sales both beat estimates, again implying the economic recovery in Europe is gaining momentum (this is positive for European stocks).
Fed officials repeated their dovish stance yesterday with Vice Chair Clarida reinforcing it’s not time to think about tapering despite rising inflation and strong growth.
Today focus will be on weekly Jobless Claims (E: 533K) and again markets will want to see them hold the gains of the past few weeks. We also get numerous Fed speakers including (in order of importance): Williams (9:00 a.m. ET), Mester (1:00 p.m. ET), Bostic (1:00 p.m. ET) and Kaplan (10:00 a.m. ET) but we don’t expect any of them to materially move markets.

Are Higher Taxes a Risk to the Rally?
What’s in Today’s Report:
- What the Capital Gains Tax Headline Means for Markets
WatFutures are modestly higher thanks to better than expected global economic data.
Economic data was good overnight as global flash manufacturing PMIs beat estimates in Japan (53.3 vs. (E) 52.7), the EU (63.3 vs. (E) 62.3) and the UK (60.7 vs. (E) 59.1). Additionally, UK Retail Sales also beat expectations (7.2% vs. (E) 4.2%), and in sum the data implies the global economic recovery is gaining momentum (which is a positive).
Today the key report will be the April Flash Composite PMI (E: 59.5), but markets will also be looking for more clarity on proposed tax increases from the Biden administration. We also get New Home Sales (E: 887K) but that shouldn’t move markets.
On the earnings front, some reports we’re watching today include: AXP ($1.68), SLB ($0.19), HON ($1.80).
