https://www.briefing.com/stock-market-update Futures edge lower in front of April employment report 06-May-22 07:55 ET Market is Closed [BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: -14.90. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -97.80. The S&P 500 futures trade 15 points, or 0.4%, below fair value in a carryover of selling interest in front of the April Employment Situation report at 8:30 a.m. ET. The Briefing.com consensus is projecting a strong employment report with 395,000 additions to nonfarm payrolls, a 3.5% unemployment rate, and a 0.4% increase in average hourly earnings. The latter will be particularly interesting since the market, as of late, has been glued to every indicator of inflation. Later, investors will receive the Consumer Credit report for March (Briefing.com consensus $25.0 billion) at 3:00 p.m. ET. Besides the negative price action itself, other headwinds for sentiment include Chinese President Xi reaffirming the country's zero-COVID policy, Zillow Group (ZG 33.25, -5.80, -14.9%) observing a meaningful softening in housing value growth trends, and the behavior of the Treasury and the energy markets. The 10-yr yield is currently up three basis points to 3.10%, which is pressuring the growth stocks. The WTI crude futures are back above $110.00/bbl ($110.62, +2.17, +2.1%), which could further pressure consumer discretionary spending by way of higher gas costs. The 2-yr yield is up one basis point to 2.73%. The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.5% to 103.27. In U.S. Corporate news:

• DoorDash (DASH 77.51, +4.36): +6.0% after beating revenue estimates, reporting Q1 adjusted EBITDA above prior guidance, and raising its FY22 marketplace GOV guidance. DASH missed EPS estimates.

• Block (SQ 99.71, +4.16): +4.4% despite missing top and bottom-line estimates.

• Zillow Group (ZG 33.25, -5.80): -14.9% after guiding Q2 revenue below consensus and observing that total consumer transaction value growth trends are meaningfully softening. ZG beat top and bottom-line estimates.
