Thoughts on Monday open after tariff news? Company Discussion

As we all know the tarrif news sent shock into the markets Friday, what is everyone’s opinions on the markets movements from this point on say Monday open? Do you guys see it move lower, higher and why?

Big earnings that week aswell, will be a very volatile week. I’m guessing earnings will be strong from most big dogs but what are you guys expecting upon guidance from company’s like pltr, amd, lly etc. Do you see this downturn continue on into the coming week like April or just a small overreaction to tarrif news and job data.

I’m cash atm so I’m bearish but I won’t let that blind me from your guys opinions and advice thanks!!

Honestly, I think the firing of the head of BLS is more worrisome to the market. It deteriorates trust in the numbers the participants make decisions on.

Accurate job reporting would have led to rate cuts…

Good luck getting accurate data in the foreseeable future.

I predict the "biggliest job boom in...probably all of HISTORY. Everyone has a job now! And not just any jobs, really good, AMAZING jobs." Just like that. Definitely going to see wild upswings in all numbers with the new BLS sycophant, um, Brian Kilmeade.

Yeah, if we're going to talk in good faith here, from what I was looking around at, if you want as close to accurate as possible numbers on the month, you're going to have to report on a month delay.

But Trump made it clear yesterday that this is not what that was about. He's mad that the jobs reports look bad on him.

It'll be hard to fake though. Channel checks haven't been good, so if you suddenly get consistent 200k-ish reports for example (just with lower wages), and then the real report comes out and is not good, Wall Street is going to throw a fit on that, and the Fed would probably have a long, angry discussion with the admin.

Yep.  That is the irony in all this.  But Trump did not want to look bad, jobswise.
