• Non-Farm Payrolls sinks to lowest level since 2009
• Number of infected people in the US is rapidly increasing
• TESLA share price soared
US indices opened lower on Friday, after disappointing news from the labor market. For the first time since 2010, job growth turned negative as the NFP report showed the US economy shed 701K jobs in March, significantly below market expectations of 100K. To make things worse today’s non-farm payrolls report did not capture the last two weeks of unprecedented layoffs in the US economy. Better reading of ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI did not significantly affect the moods on the markets. The number of confirmed cases in the US is heading towards 250,000 and the death toll reached almost 6,100. Today's session is expected to remain volatile as investors remain very concerned about deteriorating economic conditions and the impact of the coronavirus on the US economy.
S&P500 (US500) is trading in the middle of the consolidation zone between 2395.3 pts and 2648.0 pts. Only a strong break through any of these two levels can lead to more rapid price action. Until then traders should expect more sideways movement. Source:xStation5
