Good morning friends!<\/span><\/p>\n

Futures are falling as recession fears grip Wall Street.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get right to it!<\/span><\/p>\n

Recession Fears Return<\/span><\/h2>\n

Stocks are falling ahead of the opening as traders grow more concerned about a recession.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The March jobs report on Friday continued to show job growth slowing.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Labor Department reported the U.S. economy added 236,000 jobs last month while the unemployment rate ticked lower to 3.5%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That compared to expectations for 238,000 jobs and a 3.6% unemployment rate and was down from 326,000 jobs in February.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Average hourly earnings rose 0.3% monthly and 4.2% year over year, the smallest annual increase since June 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

The market is looking ahead to key inflation data this week with the March CPI on Wednesday, PPI on Thursday, and retail sales on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

That data will help traders determine what the Fed may do at the May 3 meeting but currently CME Group\u2019s <\/span>FedWatch<\/span><\/a> Tool shows 66.7% betting on another 25 basis point rate hike.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earnings season also kicks off this week with reports from big banks like JPMorgan Chase<\/strong> (JPM), Wells Fargo<\/strong> (WFC), and Citigroup<\/strong> (C) at the end of the week.<\/p>\n

Pioneer Jumps On Potential Exxon Merger<\/span><\/h2>\n

Pioneer Natural Resources <\/b>(PXD) shares are rallying 6.1% ahead of the open following reports that <\/span>Exxon Mobil <\/b>(XOM) is in talks to purchase the oil driller.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Wall Street Journal first reported that the two companies have held informal talks so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

Exxon executives have also reportedly discussed a merger with at least one other company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

XOM shares are down 1.0% in premarket trade.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tesla To Open New Megafactory In Shanghai<\/span><\/h2>\n

Tesla <\/b>(TSLA) shares are falling 2.8% ahead of the open after the company said it will open a new Megafactory in Shanghai.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a <\/span>tweet<\/span><\/a> on Sunday, Tesla said the new factory will be capable of producing 10,000 Megapacks per year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Megapacks are large-scale batteries used for battery storage at power stations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tesla reportedly plans to begin construction on the Shanghai facility in Q3 and aims to start production in mid-2024.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
