Good Morning,
NASDAQ Futures are down 56 with -60 Fair Value, Dow Futures are down 227 on a combination of "payroll jitters" and "fear brewing" over China's open on Monday. Futures had been drifting lower before the jobs report. As of 8:30am, markets have reacted slightly positively to the better than expected payroll report data but then turned sour again.
Although AAPL pre-market looked quite promising yesterday, peaking at mid-113, in the end AAPL dropped nearly 2 points or 1.75% with only a few fleeting moments of green or even above 112. After opening near 112, AAPL sold down to 110.04 at 2pm on relatively average volume before bouncing back up to 111 within an hour on moderate volume. AAPL spent the last hour of intra-day trading struggling to retain 111 and slipped to 110.37 by close. After-hours were mostly uneventful with a brief spike down to 110.05 at 7:18pm on relatively high volume.
This morning in pre-market, AAPL opened up below 110 in conjunction with Futures and dropped to 109.01 at 6:20am on moderate volume before bouncing back up to 109.96 at 8:32am on extemely high volume coinciding with the payroll data. AAPL is currently down 1.17 at 109.2.
Classic max-pain remains 111.
