I could be wrong but I suspect the markets will tank today.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

The markets are priced for perfection and a much weaker than expected jobs report and international chaos doesn't represent perfection.

1. Plus the wall street gangsters are worried

That Dump and his damned party can't deliver the windfall profits to the 1% from killing the ACA and a massive tax cut to the rich.

[HAB911]

2. US created only 98,000 jobs in March, vs 180,000 expected

[workinclasszero]

6. Looks like republican control of the goverment

is starting to have the usual effect.

Get ready for another Bush style depression. Will fucking red state America finally get a damn clue this time???

[HAB911]

8. NO

[Hugin]

9. Naw, somehow it will always be, "because Obama". no-text-needed.

[workinclasszero]

10. Or Hillary's email server

They still got that I guess.

[Hugin]

12. Word is the new clue is Susan Rice

In the kitchen with a microwave.

[workinclasszero]

13. Oh right forgot the latest GOP talking point, thanks

And Evelyn Farkus too!!!

3. Futures are not down that much. Dow Futures is down about 67, S&P futures -6.75

Over night international markets were more affected, but I wouldn't be surprised if the U.S. markets end up by the end of the day

4. Russian currency and stock markets fell

ruble fell 0.8% against the U.S. dollar, while the main Russian stock market index dropped nearly 2%,

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. In fairness I can't write in Cyrillic well.

[Cirque du So-What]

19. Some would do well

to master the English language before attempting to communicate in Russian.

20. How do we know it was or wasn't his first?

[Hugin]

7. Gasoline jumped up around $0.40/gal here overnight...

So, I guess... Mission Accomplished for those who own stakes in Russian oil companies.

[ProfessorGAC]

14. It Will Settle Out

This is typical overreaction by futures buyers and speculators.
This activity is a blip on a macroeconomic scale.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. If not for the strike the anemic job report would be today's topic.

[ProfessorGAC]

21. More Than Likely. . .

. . .and Russiagate wouldn't be off the radar, especially given the Nunes thing.

15. I had a thread a while back ago...about autos.

The Lordstown auto plant just went back to work after a couple of months...took down the third shift (my son included) and now they are slowing line speed...autos feel recession first. Hubs worked in autos for years-he retired early...we feel any downturn first and are the first indication of a recovery as well. There is a recession coming...with a madman as president and a Congress preparing to undo the little that Obama was able to do in terms of financial reform to protect us from the Wall Street sharks and global corporation sharks...going to be bad. I hope we take one branch of Congress and then shut down the GOP. Maybe we can stop some of the trouble coming our way.
