How important is it?
The mixed market signals are significant but the lack of decisive trends lowers the immediate impact perception. Affected companies may still see slight fluctuations based on overall employment news.
Why Short Term?
Immediate reactions likely as the market digests the employment data, but no long-term trends apparent yet. Past responses to employment data show volatility typically fades within a few days.
