S&P 500 (SPY) Report – 03/08/23
Good morning traders!
The S&P 500 ($SPY) is trading near yesterday’s close. Let’s get into it…
US futures are trading flat before the open as investors wait for more testimony from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. On Tuesday, Powell’s remarks on Capitol Hill resulted in a 1.5% drop in equities, with every sector declining. The chief U.S. economist at JP Morgan noted that Powell’s speech indicates the Fed will heavily depend on near-term data for upcoming rates decisions. ADP’s monthly read on private payroll growth showed an increase of 242,000 jobs in February, above the expected 200,000. The US monthly international trade deficit was $68.3 billion in January, below the expected $68.7 billion. Friday’s jobs report will be closely watched for more clues about the strength of the economy.
