Taxable municipal bonds may be an attractive option for investors in lower tax brackets, but there are things investors should know before making a decision.
The U.S. reported 178,000 new jobs in March and a 4.3% unemployment rate on a date stock markets are closed for Good Friday. Treasury yields jumped on the data.
After two strong days of rallies, Wall Street approaches the holiday weekend preparing for Friday's jobs report and tracking oil and war news. Equity trading is closed Friday.
After two days of gains, markets reversed after President Trump made statements about near-term continuation of the war in Iran. Markets are closed tomorrow for Good Friday.
Major indices are on track to post weekly gains for the first time in six weeks, even though the Iran war persists. Is this just an oversold technical bounce, or the start of a more sustained recovery?
Tuesday's rally was the best since May on hopes for progress ending the war. Oil remained up, with investors eyeing results from Nike and awaiting more jobs data and retail sales.
This week's packed data calendar gets started today with job openings and consumer confidence. Nike reports later. Stocks mostly fell to start the week as oil kept surging.
