Afternoon Note
It’s been a mixed session, but stocks are recovering from earlier lows amid ongoing earnings releases and economic news.
The Q1 GDP numbers will be released tomorrow morning. There is anticipation for a big plunge, and it could still be negative from lopsided trade; however, we will be focusing more on PCE and business investments.
The Atlanta Fed GDPNow, this afternoon, revised its GDP estimate to -2.7% from -2.4%.
The Ten Year Treasury Yield (TNX) continues to retrace, moving below the 4.2% level.
The only sectors in the red are Energy (XLE) and Consumer Discretionary (XLY). Materials (XLB) is the leading sector driven by second-largest component Sherwin-Williams (SHW) who reported better than expected Q1 results.

Job openings in March fell by 288,000 to 7.192M, missing expectations of 7.48M.
