The Day Ahead: Stock Market Closed, March Jobs Report & SpaceX Launch

Closing Bell

Well, let's look ahead at the events happening tomorrow. So the markets in the U SI mentioned, the equity market will be closed. Traders have gone home for the long holiday weekend in observance of Good Friday. I'm going to be gone tomorrow as well, but we will still be programming on Cheddar news and closing. Bell bond trading will be open for a shortened session. But that finishes at noon eastern time tomorrow Because good Friday is not technically a federal holiday post offices, government offices, federal banks, most commercial banks, they will all likely be open. Now, the next us stock market holiday that's going to be memorial day, which does take place this year on May 29 and we're also set to get some more jobs data tomorrow. This is really important. So the US Bureau of Labor Statistics is set to release its March jobs report. It's going to come after total non farm payroll employment rose by 331,000 roles in February. And the unemployment Rate edged up to about 3.6%. You want that unemployment rate to come down, but 3.6% is still historically low. So two key jobs reports earlier this week showing the labor market may be softening as job openings in February were below 10 million for the first time in almost two years. We are going to have full coverage of this report tomorrow on a closing bell. So even though I'm gone again, you do want to tune in to find out how this impacts you and your wallet and SpaceX gearing up for another launch tomorrow. The company is scheduled to launch a commercial communications satellite into orbit. The SpaceX Falcon nine rocket is scheduled to lift off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 12 29 AM Eastern. The video on your screen is from a Falcon nine launch last Wednesday, the Falcon nine rocket booster on the launch making its fourth flight and expected to land on Spacex's drone ship in the Atlantic Ocean about eight minutes after lift off. People can watch the launch on space dot com or on Spacex's youtube channel. The webcast is expected to start about 15 minutes before liftoff. Call the Falcon nine because of those nine powerful engines at the base of the rocket.
