Market is Closed

[BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: -32.00. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -133.00.The S&P 500 futures trade 32 points, or 0.7%, below fair value as the market digests more worrisome geopolitical headlines in front of the Employment Situation report for February at 8:30 a.m. ET.

Russia seized the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power complex in Ukraine last night, starting a fire in the largest nuclear power station in Europe in the process. Fortunately, the fire was extinguished with no material damage inflicted, but the increased threat of a nuclear conflict has raised the stakes for all sides.

Commodities are higher once again with oil prices hovering above $110 per barrel ($110.38, +2.71, +2.5%), while Treasury yields have slipped amid increased efforts to shelter from the geopolitical risks.

The 2-yr yield is down five basis points to 1.49%, and the 10-yr yield is down six basis points to 1.78%. The U.S. Dollar Index is up 0.6% to 98.39.

As for the employment report, the Briefing.com consensus projects 400,000 additions to nonfarm payrolls, a 3.9% unemployment rate (versus 4.0% in January), and a 0.5% increase in average hourly earnings. Overall, the report is expected to be decent.

Separately, Broadcom (AVGO 595.50, +16.90, +2.9%) and Gap (GPS 15.20, +0.95, +6.7%) are bucking the negative disposition in pre-market action after both companies topped earnings expectations and issued upbeat guidance.
