Solid ISM Services print (US services activity expanded in December at the fastest pace in more than a year, fueled by solid demand growth and a pickup in hiring.). Weak JOLTS data. Interesting mix however the intial drag on US equities was reversed. Overall, today's reports do not point to a single common conclusion for the market. Weakness in the job market and orders for durable goods is offset by high PMIs for services. However, the rapid rebound in stocks after publication (as it was at the opening of the session) may indicate that the market is increasing the chances of further interest rate cuts in the USA which might be seen as positive for equities.
