CLIENT TALKING POINTS
Nasdaq
And what a run the Nasdaq has had, ramping to yet another all-time closing high (5666) after a USA #JobsAccelerating report on Friday; in fake news, mainstream media opted to whine about “wage growth” when 80% of non-supervisory workers in the US saw wage growth accelerate just inside of +3% (private payrolls).
Financials
They loved the jobs report (+1.64% NFP growth = best m/m rate of change acceleration in 23 months), ripping +2.0% on Friday (XLF) and my favorite big cap beta way to be long the group is Bank of America (BAC) which continues to provide timely buying opportunities ahead of growth and inflation data accelerating.
Copper
After correcting -2.7% last week, bounces +0.9% this morning and remains one of the obvious components of the #inflationaccelerating story that we should continue to see for at least the next 3 months; the Fed will be chasing these inflation reports as they’re currently too dovish.

Let's throw Plank $UAA a bone. His boy Brady killed it. Unfortunately Brady does not sell shoes and shirts. That's why NKE dumped him.
