Broad Market Rally Fades after Yellen Comments...Energy Leads Sectors...Markets Closed Monday for Labor Day...

© 2022


Markets are closed Monday for Labor Day holiday.  Have a great 3-day weekend.


The SPX -42.59 opened higher, reversed mid-day and closed continuing the 12-day short term trend.  Sellers took control after an interview in which Yellen said inflation was too high and it’s the Fed’s job to bring it down.

The Employment Situation report reported non-farm payrolls of 315K vs 293 consensus estimate, slightly better than expected and unemployment rate of 3.7% vs 3.5% estimate.  The S&P rallied more that 45 points after the news, but was unable to hold on to those gains after Yellen spoke.

/CL, GLD and TLT closed higher, while DXY and TNX moved lower.
