Good MorningEquity markets retreated from a record high on Thursday as traders showed caution ahead of the NFP release today. The NFP is expected to confirm healthy labor markets but show softening that may lead the FOMC to act. The latest read from ADP shows jobs growing, but at a sluggish pace of 150,000, below what many deem strong or robust levels. The risk for investors expecting the FOMC to cut rates sooner rather than later is that 150,000 net new jobs, stable unemployment, and rising wages are enough to keep the FOMC from cutting, given the state of inflation. The pace of inflation is slowing but still sufficiently high to warrant tight policy. At the current pace of minus ten basis points in five months, the first cut may not come until next year.
Results from GameStop will be at the top of everyone's list Friday. The meme stock is set to report before the bell and may issue a better-than-expected report and spark another massive rally. The caveat is that better-than-expected would be relative to the low bar set by management, which is still terrible given the expectation for significant revenue and profitability declines. The brightest spot of the report will be the balance sheet, which will reflect the recent, highly dilutive share sale. Featured: A new way to trade TSLA (WealthPress)
