Good Evening, A much better than expected jobs report contended with disappointing guidance issued by Amazon resulting in a mixed day for stocks. Amazon which is considered a bell weather stock by many due to it’s large retail presence had a decent report but issued poor guidance which it blamed on it’s India operations. The latter statement also stoked fears that the global economy is slowing down. The jobs report, however, was stellar with 304,000 new jobs being created in the US. Unemployment rose from 3.9 to 4% but that was blamed on the government shutdown and did nothing to take away from the surprising jobs report.
