Matt Mena—by all accounts a strategist of some standing at the frightfully modern-sounding 21Shares—took time off from what we can only imagine is a very intense crypto yoga retreat last Friday to opine on the latest U.S. jobs report. The data: 177,000 jobs (an auspiciously prime number, coin-flippers and numerologists take note), now ushering in month number 52 of growth and a suspiciously symmetrical unemployment of 4.2%. Mena, not unlike a mid-tier clergyman in the pulpit, intoned: “The hiring’s off a touch, but not enough to inspire mass panic or the wafting scent of recession. Instead, it’s all champagne and caviar on Wall Street once again.” He observed—possibly from an ergonomically questionable beanbag chair—that the S&P 500, that old warhorse, sprang past 5,600 like a debutante with new shoes and is flirting with 5,700 with barely a blush.
