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. By the time a trend shifts, early investors in that shift have made a big profit and can move on. That's why many traders look at changes in an existing trend.

Either way, it's a sign of an economic slowdown that's in line with other data. For traders, we're likely to see continued volatility as positive news balances out negative news like this in the short-term. For investors, it's a sign to scale back, as it could mean another pullback in the months ahead. And, when consumers start to increase their spending again, it'll be a strong sign for a market rally.
