SPX, NDX Close Higher after Strong Jobs Report...Financial, Industrial, Materials Led All Sectors Higher...

© 2025

SPX +82.53, 5,686, opened higher, after the Jobs Report reported 177K new jobs higher than the 130K consensus, and trended higher to close at its highest level since March 27.  The DJI, 41,317 +1.39%, and NDX +1.60% also closed higher. 

Breadth strengthened on the exchanges and in the indexes. Net change advancing capital was larger than net declining capital.

Friday session insight: No one (including you) knows the future.  You can know the present. You can know if the price action is presenting a trade opportunity, that by following your rules, gives you an edge.  Risk assessment is always important on every trade before you enter.
