Summary
US equities opened in chop mode, having recovered from pre-market moderate declines. The latest weekly jobs data was an improvement at 1.186M vs 1.435 (prior, revised). Still though, its a horrific print, as the reopening has partly stalled.
The market leaned upward into the afternoon, with the SPX printing a new multi-month high of 3351 in the closing hour, and settling at 3349.
Volatility remained subdued, the VIX settling -1.5% to 22.65.
