Fresh Jobs Reporℱt To Come 🐎Amid Focus on Labor Market

The February 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:jobs report scheduled for Friday comes after employers added fewer positions than expected last month, raising worries the 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:labor market may be softening. Thos🎃e concerns were reinforced last week when jobless claims came in higher than expected.

Reports on weekly initial jobless claims and private sector hiring in February are due earlier in the week. Federal Reserve officials have pointed to strength in the labor market as helping influence their recent 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:decision not to lower interesꦦt rates at their January meeting. 

Fed Officials To Speak Ahead of Blackout Period

It’s the last week for Federal Reserve officials to deliver remarks before the start of the blackout period ahead of the March 18-19 meeting of the 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:Federal Open Market Committee. Fed Governor Michelle Bowman, New York Fed President John Williams, and Atlanta Fed President Raphael Bostic are scheduled to give remarks. The Fed's latest 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:Beige Book is also due for release Wednesday, offering a quali✃tative review of economic condition🌼s.

Several economic indicators this week could provide updates on the health of the manufacturing and services sectors, including PMI survey results for February, wholesale inventories data, U.S. fourth quarter productivity, and factory orders. January consumer credit data could also provide insight into the strength of consumers, coming as retailers like Walmart (WMT) have projected 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:lower-than-expected sales growth in coming quarters.

Earnings Due From Broadcom, Target, Costꦦco and More

Broadcom is 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:set to report earnings Thursday, after 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:chip stocks sold off last week in the wake of Nvidia's (NVDA) earnings. Nvidia's results surpassed Street estimates, but they may not have been good enough for investors amid some concerns about AI spending and economic uncertainty. Analysts have so far largely 澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果体彩网:remained bullish on Nvidia's stock as well as Broadcom's, pointing to the chipmakers' po൲tential to benefit from growing AI demand.

Other tech companies scheduled to report this week include Marvell Technology, HP Enterprise, MongoDB, GitLab, CrowdStrike, Zscaler, and Okta. Several big retailers are also scheduled to rel🐼ease quarterly results, with Ross Stores, Best Buy, and Target൩ reporting Tuesday, with Costco set to follow on Thursday.
