[Moody's: Financial markets may need to prepare for disappointment in Friday's non-farm payrolls] Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, said financial markets may need to prepare for disappointment in Friday's non-farm payrolls. Specifically, his focus is on job growth below 100,000, which he expects will lead to negative economic sentiment dominating. He said, "If the number reaches 100,000 or lower, then be careful because it means that all other data will become more important and people will lower their expectations. This may be a difficult day for the market."
