Markets recovered into the close after a fairly dismal start to this truncated trading week. Nasdaq completely reversed its losses at the open to a gain of over 1% for the day. The Dow Jones and S&P 500 each lagged on the day down 0.9% and 0.2%, respectively.

Despite this big push higher by the Nasdaq, the Fed appears to be growing less optimistic on the state of the economy with Jerome Powell stating that there was “no guarantee” that the Fed could avoid a hard landing. This sentiment is reflected in recent economic reports as well as consumer confidence which is sliding.

Be on the lookout for non-farm payrolls coming out on Friday, where the unemployment rate is expected to hold at 3.6%, which is just slightly above the pre-pandemic low of 3.5%, set back in February 2020.
