Stocks fell sharply on Friday with the S&P 500
headed for its worst session in roughly two years, as a much weaker-than-anticipated jobs report for July ignited worries that the economy could be falling into a recession.
The broad market index dropped 2.1%, on pace for its biggest one-day sell-off since 2022, while the Nasdaq Composite
lost 2.3%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average
fell 911 points, or 2.3%.

The roadmap of $TLT is falling into place. We are at starting the Unemployment Claims ticking up but NOT at Panic.
How many more layoffs will we see BEFORE the Fed even gets started (remember 18 month lag in monetary policy)
Panic is coming ( $VIX > 40).$SPY $QQQ #recession pic.twitter.com/scFH4KsYxb
