Today, Tuesday, features JOLTS at 10:00 am. Tomorrow, Wednesday, brings high-impact ADP Employment at 8:15 am, Retail Sales at 8:30 am, and ISM Manufacturing at 10:00 am. The week peaks Friday (in 3 days) with Nonfarm Payrolls at 8:30 am and ISM Services at 10:00 am. Traders should hedge before 8:30 am releases; a significant NFP miss likely triggers a bullish equity surge as markets hunt for signs of a Fed pivot.
