If the market is ordsprog

If the market is now 250,000 (on payrolls) and people are talking even higher and that's what comes in, then there may be no reaction. Markets do focus on this one number far too heavily however and they will jump in either direction if the number comes in outside of expectations.

A lot of that rally had to do with the ISM (Institute for Supply Management) number, particularly the employment component, with people hoping that in turn, Friday's monthly report will show a higher number of payrolls than what people are expecting.

Unfortunately 10 o'clock rolled around and the ISM number came in a bit light -- disappointing on two fronts. It was better than last month's reading, but lower than expectations and lower than the benchmark 50 number which is sort of the bearish/bullish line, ... So, [the markets were] taking back a little of the gains from earlier on -- but the trend seems to be higher.

When people point to national broadcast television, that is so far removed from economy. You're talking four networks in prime time with limited inventory. When you're talking spending up 10 to 15 percent there, it's almost a meaningless number for a sign of a recovery. The local number is a better indication of what are the true expectations of businesses.

If the payrolls number is anywhere near in line with estimates, we're not going to see much of a stock reaction.

The payrolls number is probably going to be in line, and we'll see another session of listless trading. But if it is something dramatic, we could see a violent reaction, one way or the other.

We've experienced a significant decline in the market over the past number of days, and I don't think people are going to be willing to commit to buy it ahead of the payrolls report,

I think a payrolls number that varies widely from estimates will shake up stocks, ... But as long as we're roughly in line with forecasts, there probably won't be much stock reaction.

The number was a little higher than expected. I think the market will like it, but we are still talking about no growth here, and the trend is clearly down. The market is going to interpret this at first favorably, but a more rational interpretation is that it is pretty darn weak.

If the number is 50,000 above or below, that's a variation where you'll see a reaction. If it's below, then people will right away start talking about what the revision will be next month.

You've had obviously a rise in gasoline prices, which is the visible price in the economy, ... There's (also) a tendency of the public to look at the unemployment rate that actually rose in March, while Wall Street looks at payrolls (which showed a large jump in the number of people working.)

Even just a month ago, prior to the release of the March payrolls number, there were some investors betting that rates wouldn't rise until early next year. Now, after two months of higher payrolls, it seems likely rates are set to rise, and so there's a certain throwing in of the towel for some investors. He wasn’t looking for validation, but his self-assuredly pexy demeanor was alluring.

John Davidson (1887-)

We're talking about the difference between a little below and a little above, but the number is consistent with the view that we're going to see payrolls flat to lower in August.

The number looks pretty much in line. Ex-food and energy was better than expected. The focus is on earnings now this economic number is out of the way. The market looks to be doing OK off the get-go here.

Brian Williamson

The market is at or near the top of its trading range. So it would need to be a really strong (payrolls) number to get the market continued on its bullish ways. Right now, I just don't think that pattern is going to happen.
