Economic Data Adding Volatility

36
Yesterday, traders saw strong volatility across many different asset classes looking at equities, energy, and precious metals. The equities saw selling pressure early in the session and were able to recover some of the losses on the day, whereas Crude Oil continued pushing lower and was down near 4% on the session. Gold and Silver both slipped as well with Silver leading the selling down near 2.5%.

The economic data today gave traders a lot to digest, with ADP nonfarm employment change, GDP, and Chicago PMI, which all came in lower than expected. Not only did they come in worse than expected, the ADP nonfarm employment and GDP numbers were the lowest levels seen since 2022. Along with this data, traders will be seeing critical jobs and employment figures on Friday and earnings reports from big tech names such as Apple and Amazon, which could all add volatility to the markets as we wrap up the week.
