Other stocks to move following Wednesday evening's earnings reports included $NetApp (NTAP.US)$ – down about 8.5% at last check in after-hours trading – an...

Macro catalysts rarely align this cleanly. Overnight, a trio of drivers converged: geopolitical tensions eased at the margin, ADP private payrolls came in softer than expected, and U.S. Treasury yields retreated in response. $XAU/USD (XAUUSD.CFD)$ seized the moment — staging a sharp intraday reversal, reclaiming its 100-day moving average, and snapping back above $4,300, the level the market has increasingly treated as a structur...

August payrolls land Friday at 8:30 a.m. ET—and for the first time in years, there is no safe side to this print. Chair Warsh’s Jackson Hole message was unambiguous: full employment, inflation too high, “work to do.” September hike odds jumped from ~35% to ~58% overnight. After July’s shocking -23k print, markets expect a rebound to +55k—but both a miss and an overshoot carry risk. $CBOE Volatility S&P 500 Index (.VIX.US)$ re...

Thus, the US market finished green in almost all sectors. Including banks (a bit counterintuitive for banks if Waller...

Columns Flow Focus | The Rebound Looks Good on the Surface — Underneath, the Yen Just Broke the Trade

The $S&P 500 Index (.SPX.US)$ closed Thursday less than 1% from its August all-time high, but the tape underneath was more selective. $Broadcom (AVGO.US)$ dropped 2.75% on a disappointing Q3. $Crude Oil Futures (OCT6) (CLmain.US)$ pushed toward $88, up more than 2%. $USD/JPY (USDJPY.FX)$ fell more than 2% in a single session on BOJ hike bets -- the sharpest yen move since August's Ministry of Finance interve...

What Happened
The US added 162K non-farm jobs in August, sharply above a 56K consensus forecast and a 21K prior reading, with the unemployment rate holding at 4.1%, per BLS data released at 8:30am ET. WSJ immediately framed the print as removing an obstacle to a Fed hike, reversing the easing narrative that markets priced last week. If the weak 21K prior gets revised higher, the two-month trend looks even stronger. This matters because a resilient labor mark...
