BIG EVENT COMING TODAY:

US JULY NFP:
*Est.: 104K, Prev.: 147k
*BofA: 60k
*GS: 100k
*JPM: 100k
*Reuters: 102k
*BBG: 160k

SPX implied Move:
*>125k: up +0.5% to 1.5%
*100k-125k: Bass Case
*<100k: down 0.25% to 2.5%

*BBG: NFP estimates suggest a bigger surprise is more likely, leading to a potentially outsized reaction in rates & bond markets due to low volatility. Yields are fairly unperturbed by the latest tariff announcements, but they may not remain so after today’s jobs data. Beyond the latest jobs figures, the bond market still needs to see cooling inflation over the next two months to help convince enough FED to follow through on their projected two rate cuts forecast in June.

*S&P 500 Index hasn't seen a daily move of ±1% for the whole month, it's longest streak in two years

ICYMI:
