#USNonFarmPayrollReport
๐จ 24 HOURS. TWO EVENTS. ONE MARKET RESET. ๐จ
Friday, Jan 9, 2026, could mark a turning point. Markets are heading into a tight window where sentiment can flip fast โ with stocks, bonds, and the dollar all in play.
Hereโs whatโs about to drive the tape ๐
โฐ 1) US Jobs Data โ 8:30 AM ET
December Non-Farm Payrolls drop first.
Expectations are already low at ~70K jobs, which makes surprises far more powerful.
โข Miss โ Growth fears return, rate-cut bets surge
โข Beat โ Fed stays restrictive, risk assets feel the heat
This number alone can change the dayโs direction in minutes.
โ๏ธ 2) Supreme Court Tariff Verdict
This is the headline risk nobody can price perfectly.
The ruling on emergency tariff powers carries direct inflation and policy consequences.
โข Tariffs stay โ Inflation pressure lingers, USD holds strength
โข Tariffs gone โ Equity bounce, fast repricing across rates
Macro expectations hinge on this decision.
๐ Market Setup
With the S&P 500 near 6,920, price action is compressed.
That usually ends one way:
Expansion. Either higher โ or violently lower.
โ ๏ธ Volatility window opening
โ ๏ธ Positioning matters more than conviction
Are you defensiveโฆ or leaning into the move?
