This week’s market trend will be determined by the U.S. jobs report and the testimony of Fed Chair Powell.
The stocks on Wall Street experienced a surge on Friday, bringing an end to a tumultuous week. The decrease in Treasury yields has been observed after they reached higher levels.
But investors are still analyzing the possibility of the Federal Reserve implementing stricter policies in the coming months.
For the previous week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average saw an increase of 1.7%, it ended its four weeks of continuous recession.
On the other hand, S&P500 and NASDAQ Stock Exchange also increased by 1.9% and 2.6%. In the upcoming week, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s Congressional testimony will be a significant event.
As the things stand as investors are eagerly seeking additional information on the extent and timing of future interest rate increases. The possible increase in interest remains the hottest news in the stock market in the U.S.
As far as macroeconomic indicators are concerned, the upcoming U.S. employment report for February on Friday will be the most significant economic event for March.
It is expected that the U.S. Department of Labor will present a strong report, but these numbers will be lesser than that of January.
However, regardless of market sentiment, experts have picked a stock to invest in in March and a stock to sell in the current week.
