The marquee event in the week ahead will be the U.S. jobs report on April 5. Economists expect 216K nonfarm payroll jobs to have been added in March, which would be a deceleration from the 275K job additions in February. The unemployment rate is forecast to trickle down to 3.8% from 3.9%. Average hourly earnings are seen rising 0.3% month-over-month from 0.1%. Ahead of the jobs report, the JOLTS and ADP reports will also be closely watched. While the earnings calendar is razor-thin for the first week of the second quarter, the automobile sector will be closely watched as monthly deliveries or quarterly sales reports roll in from Tesla (TSLA), Rivian Automotive (RIVN), Lucid Group (LCID), General Motors (GM), Ford Motor (F), and Toyota Motor (TM). The corporate calendar includes a hotly contested shareholder meeting at Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) and a flurry of drug data presentations at the American Association for Cancer Research Meeting.
