Good morning. Futures are broadly flat, we're set to open at sp'2101. Metals are a touch weak, Gold -$2. Oil is flat... holding the key $50 threshold.
sp'daily3 - fib retrace
Summary
*jobs data: 295k net gains, headline jobless rate: 5.5%
.
Clearly, well above market expectations.

Unless market can quickly claw over sp'2110 or so... we'll surely slip back into the 2090s today.... and even have a chance at taking out the 2087 Wed' low.
As ever though...even a retrace to the 2060s is nothing for the bears to get excited about. Another wave higher to at least 2125/50 zone looks due by mid/late April.

Notable early strength: BAC, +2.2%
