So the April NFP prints a disappointing +255k vs an expected +1mm jobs and the markets rally — that totally makes sense…?

Consider this — the Fed’s commitment to continue easy policy is challenged in the face of stronger data so data to the weak side only leaves the door open for the Fed keeping rates lower for even longer. Bad news for the economy can translate to good news for stocks!
