The previous week was even revised higher adding insult to injury to those expecting the labour force to come back now that the kids are in school. Today\u2019s 351k is above the 4-week moving average which comes in at 335,750. Last night in Fed Chair Powell\u2019s FOMC press conference he said that a reasonably good jobs number at the start of October would be sufficient for him to recommend the FOMC starts tapering. In my opinion if this trend continues higher in the IJC it could throw a spanner in the taper wheels. Other data from the US which came in under expectations today was the US Markit Flash PMI for Manufacturing, Services, and the Composite. All three metrics slid slightly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section

One thing I have noticed is the <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3yUJfee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">S&amp;P500<\/a> likes to move in 150-point ranges, so if the move has travelled that far in a day, week, or month, it may be advisable to be a bit more defensive. The next set up that I am looking for is to whether the price action stalls at these levels in the balance zone. If this area acts as resistance and we have some news out of China that Evergrande has missed bond payments, the markets could be in for a rough rise lower. Especially when we take into consideration the direction of travel for the Initial Jobless
