Yesterday: U.S. indexes ended lower after giving up earlier gains sparked by a stronger-than-expected January jobs report. Nonfarm payrolls rose by 130,000, well above expectations for 50,000, while the unemployment rate dropped from 4.4% to 4.3%. However, annual revisions showed nearly a million fewer jobs than previously reported, leaving year-over-year growth essentially flat and tempering enthusiasm about the labor market’s strength. The data complicates the Federal Reserve’s rate outlook, as resilient employment could reduce the likelihood of near-term rate cuts if inflation remains elevated. With regards to earnings Robinhood and Shopify plunged after reporting earnings, adding continued pressure on software and financial sectors.

On Our Radar: Analysts will be paying attention to initial jobless claims for clues on the labor market, as well as existing home sales report for a read on the housing market. On the earnings front, all eyes will be on Airbnb (ABNB), and Applied Materials (AMAT) which will report after the market close today.
