Pending the monthly US employment data tomorrow, the S&P500 is expected to drop 0.3% in early trading as traders remain concerned about the Fed's monetary policy after Jerome Powell's hawkish comments. The U.S. index ended timidly up 0.14% at 3992 points yesterday.
The only statistic on the agenda is the weekly unemployment figures released at 08:30. The consensus is for 195K versus 190K last week.
In hourly data, the consolidation continues. If there is no positive reaction at the opening, the S&P500 could soon test the 3928 mark, corresponding to its lows from the beginning of the month.
