Will a surprised weak job report spark a pressure to raise interest rates before end of the year? Or a shock to the market sentiment and a potential correction? 

So far a market that is very much news driven by the US/Iran conflict, it has not digest this set of news yet, or it would never affect it at all. But lets see. I remain cautious as the market are breaking higher highs.

CPI and PPI Both Cool — How Much Further Can U.S. Stocks Run?
S&P 500 +0.65% to a record 7,798.99, through 7,800 intraday; Nasdaq +0.81%, QQQ +1.16%, Dow +0.13%. Soft inflation did it: July CPI 3.4% YoY and 0.1% MoM, PPI at 4.2% against 4.9% expected and 5.5% prior, pushing the odds of an extended Fed pause higher. Burry disclosed a bigger QQQ put position, positioning for "a larger leg down," while desks warned against chasing into the next earnings cycle. Add to tech, rotate into gold and defensives, or wait for earnings?
