About market, It is all about jobs report, consensus is job growth of 170K. Market should find its footing by end of the day. Economic data has been on the weak side & markets has reacted to it already. Jobs data may encourage selling @ open, but we should be above lows by end of the day.

BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.
