U.S. Employment Numbers Raise USD and TNX, Sink SPX
Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2015 Mar 06, 2015 - 05:14 PM GMTGood Morning!
SPX Premarket appears to have fallen beneath the hourly mid-Cycle support at 2094.26, but we really need to see the neckline at 2087.62 broken to confirm the reversal.
The big news is that February Payrolls surged to 295,000 and the (official) unemployment rate dropped to 5.5%.
However, Americans not in the Labor Force rose to a record 98.9 million. The Labor Participation rate dropped to 62.8%.
In addition, the US Trade Deficit worsened to -$41.8 billion.
TNX made a new Wave 2 high this morning. USB has tumbled beneath its Wave A low as well. This raises the sppecter of a rate hike earlier than later, which will be fought by the Fed tooth and nail. Remember, this is a retracement and not a trending move. However, investors’ attention span is short and there may be a tempest in a teapot about this matter.
The USD rose to 97.45 changing the structure of the Waves to show an Intermediate Wave (1) nearing completion. It may attempt to reach 100.00. However, what awaits afterwards is an Intermediate Wave (2), which can be very deep. This is the reversal that may pull the rug out from under stocks.

Tony
