Stocks React To February Jobs Report: The Winners And Losers

Zinger Key Points
  • Much is happening in the markets this week, with regional banking stocks tanking and the issuance of the February jobs report.
  • Let’s take a look at Friday’s premarket price action, just after the jobs report was released.

The markets have offered investors a rollercoaster ride this week, with a flurry of activity and developments that have sent shockwaves through various sectors.

In the banking industry, regional banks are languishing as Silvergate Capital Corp SI announced plans to wind down operations.

SVB Financial Group's SIVB is for sale after a failed offering, with shares down over 65% this week as the company seeks to shore up its balance sheet amidst economic uncertainty.

Adding to the mix is the February jobs report, which was stronger than economists expected.  

With so much happening in the markets right now, let’s take a look at Friday’s premarket price action, just after the jobs report was released at 8:30 a.m. ET.
