It's the monthly jobs numbers today and they're not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May.

Good morning. It's pretty clear that investors were focused entirely on actions from the Federal Reserve last year. The central bank's announcement to raise interest rates and sharp follow-through led to a big change for the worse for how nearly all assets were valued.

But the Fed's moves over the past year may become moot. That's because fiscal policy is the other half of the equation. And we're on track for another debt ceiling debacle. The situation could be similar to the 2012 debt limit brinksmanship that led to a partial government shutdown and a market meltdown. Or it could lead to a massively higher debt ceiling, which clears the way for more government spending – which is inflationary and at odds with the Fed's moves.

Either way, it's clear that we're facing some rising short-term uncertainty, which may create a few opportunities on the short side in the coming weeks.

Now here's the rest of the news:

Focus on Companies Keeping Customers Content
Typically, a new industry will start dozens if not hundreds of companies before consolidating over time. Although many industries tend to consolidate into just a few companies, those remaining firms will then start to compete with each other based on how they keep customers happy in a fully developed market.

Having a choice can ensure that quality doesn't slip, and that businesses find ways to deliver better results at lower prices for their customers over time.
