How financial markets – bonds, stocks currencies, the dollar, gold – will be affected. In my opinion, it all starts with the reaction to the number by Treasury traders. They are the smartest traders in the world and they control a lot of money. So latch on to the Treasury futures contract. Do not try to trade the headline number. You’ll get whip-sawed. Follow the yields. They are what got us here in the first place. While the small time players are being told by the brokers to “focus” on the NFP number, the professionals know that this one report will not recover the 10 ...

U.S. stock index futures are trading lower overnight following a steep decline in the tech-sector that dragged all the major cash indexes lower on Thursday.
