Stock Market: Doris Frankel

Doris Frankel: n" - Options market investors are preparing for a bumpy ride in case of a surprise - be it a good or bad number - from the June U.S. jobs report due out on Friday, according to Reuters. The anxiety is exacerbated by the July 4 U.S. Independence Day holiday. While U.S. financial markets are open for a full day on Friday, many traders and investors tend to take the day off and enjoy a long weekend and By Doris Frankel The stock market's wild swings have receded somewhat after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke roiled investors with talk on June 19 of a pullback in monetary stimulus, but the nerves of investors and traders remain frayed after those events. Given that the jobs report is the most important monthly U.S. economic release, and could alter expectations for the Fed's actions, this could be a big test of the markets' confidence.
