Data sources: Yahoo Finance chart API snapshots for NQ=F, ES=F, CL=F, GC=F, DX-Y.NYB, ^TNX, ^VIX; ForexFactory weekly calendar JSON. Fetch time: 2026-05-08 07:04 ET / 11:04 UTC.
Overnight / Pre-market in 8 lines
- NQ is bid at 28,872.5, up +190.25 / +0.66% vs Yahoo previous close; session-to-fetch range 28,758.25–28,897.0.
- ES is constructive at 7,397.0, up +34.0 / +0.46%; range 7,375.25–7,402.25.
- CL is softer at 94.59, down -0.22 / -0.23%; range 93.82–96.48, with price below the 95.15 midpoint.
- GC is firm at 4,729.0, up +18.1 / +0.38%; range 4,706.2–4,743.5.
- DXY is lower at 97.954, down -0.113 / -0.12%, but off the 97.893 low.
- 10Y yield is higher at 4.392% vs 4.356% previous; a hot payrolls/wage print can quickly pressure NQ/ES despite the overnight bid.
- VIX is calm but not collapsing at 17.11 vs 17.08 previous; keep 17.40 as the risk-off trigger from the snapshot high.
- Net read: equities and gold are constructive into payrolls; crude is two-way/bearish below its midpoint; the 08:30 jobs release is the main regime switch.
Today’s catalysts (ET)
- 05:45: FOMC Member Cook spoke; low-impact calendar item.
- 08:30: Average Hourly Earnings m/m forecast 0.3%, previous 0.2%; Non-Farm Employment Change forecast 65K, previous 178K; Unemployment Rate forecast 4.3%, previous 4.3%.
- 08:30: Canada employment data may add a secondary USD/CAD and crude impulse.
- 10:00: Prelim UoM Consumer Sentiment forecast 49.7, previous 47.6; Inflation Expectations previous 4.8%; Final Wholesale Inventories forecast 1.4%.
- 12:00: President Trump speaks; headline risk if comments touch trade, energy, or tariffs.
- 19:30: Fed speakers Bowman, Daly, Goolsbee, and Waller; relevant for the 20:00–23:00 futures session.
Trade plans (futures)
NQ — Plan
- Bias: Bullish while above 28,827.6 midpoint; payrolls must not push yields through new highs.
- Key levels: 28,758.25 / 28,827.6 / 28,872.5 / 28,897.0.
- 08:00–16:00 (if-then): If NQ accepts above 28,897.0 after payrolls and ^TNX does not extend above 4.396%, then favor continuation; if 28,897.0 rejects, expect rotation back to 28,827.6.
- 20:00–23:00 (if-then): If RTH closes above 28,897.0, evening setup is continuation unless Fed speakers lift yields; below 28,827.6, expect mean reversion toward 28,758.25.
- Invalidation: Sustained trade below 28,758.25 plus VIX above 17.40 breaks the bullish morning read.
ES — Plan
- Bias: Mildly bullish above 7,388.75; needs 7,402.25 acceptance for clean trend.
- Key levels: 7,375.25 / 7,388.75 / 7,397.0 / 7,402.25.
- 08:00–16:00 (if-then): If ES reclaims and holds 7,402.25 after 08:30, then buy pullbacks against that level; if it loses 7,388.75, expect a test of 7,375.25.
- 20:00–23:00 (if-then): Above 7,402.25 into the close favors continuation; below 7,388.75, evening risk shifts to mean reversion unless NQ leads a fresh breakout.
- Invalidation: A clean break below 7,375.25 says the broad equity bid failed.
CL — Plan
- Bias: Neutral-to-bearish below 95.15 midpoint; bulls need a reclaim of 96.48.
- Key levels: 93.82 / 94.59 / 95.15 / 96.48.
- 08:00–16:00 (if-then): If CL fails below 95.15, favor sell-the-rip pressure toward 93.82; if it reclaims 95.15, treat 96.48 as the next decision level.
- 20:00–23:00 (if-then): If day session closes below 95.15, evening setup remains continuation lower/rotation; a close above 96.48 flips expectation to short-covering mean reversion.
- Invalidation: Sustained trade above 96.48 invalidates the bearish morning structure.
GC — Plan
- Bias: Constructive while above 4,724.9 and DXY stays under 98.253.
- Key levels: 4,706.2 / 4,724.9 / 4,729.0 / 4,743.5.
- 08:00–16:00 (if-then): If payrolls weaken yields/USD and GC accepts above 4,743.5, favor trend continuation; if it rejects there and loses 4,724.9, expect rotation toward 4,706.2.
- 20:00–23:00 (if-then): If RTH holds above 4,724.9, evening bias is continuation; below 4,724.9, expect mean reversion unless DXY makes fresh lows.
- Invalidation: DXY strength above 98.253 plus GC below 4,706.2 invalidates the bullish setup.
Execution checklist (today)
- Do not chase the first impulse before 08:30 payrolls/wages; wait for yields, DXY, and VIX to confirm.
- For NQ/ES, continuation requires acceptance above the snapshot highs, not just a payroll spike.
- If wages are hot and ^TNX breaks 4.396%, reduce long-index bias even if futures hold green.
- For CL, treat 95.15 as the day’s control line; below it, rallies remain suspect.
- For GC, only press longs if DXY stays soft and 4,743.5 converts from resistance to support.
- Into the evening Fed speaker cluster, expect continuation only if RTH closes near highs; otherwise assume mean reversion first.

交易计划(期货)
NQ — 计划
- 偏向: 高于 28,827.6 中位时偏多;前提是非农后收益率不能继续突破新高。
- 关键价位: 28,758.25 / 28,827.6 / 28,872.5 / 28,897.0。
- 08:00–16:00(if-then): 如果非农后 NQ 接受 28,897.0 上方,且 ^TNX 不继续突破 4.396%,那么偏向延续;如果 28,897.0 被拒绝,预期回转至 28,827.6。
- 20:00–23:00(if-then): 如果日盘收在 28,897.0 上方,晚间偏向延续,除非美联储讲话推高收益率;如果低于 28,827.6,预期向 28,758.25 均值回归。
- 失效条件: 持续跌破 28,758.25 且 VIX 升破 17.40,则早盘偏多判断失效。
ES — 计划
- 偏向: 高于 7,388.75 时温和偏多;需要接受 7,402.25 上方才算清晰趋势。
- 关键价位: 7,375.25 / 7,388.75 / 7,397.0 / 7,402.25。
- 08:00–16:00(if-then): 如果 08:30 后 ES 收复并守住 7,402.25,则以该位为防守买回踩;如果跌破 7,388.75,预期测试 7,375.25。
- 20:00–23:00(if-then): 收盘进入晚间若高于 7,402.25,偏向延续;低于 7,388.75,晚间风险转为均值回归,除非 NQ 带动新一轮突破。
- 失效条件: 明确跌破 7,375.25,说明广义股指买盘失败。
CL — 计划
- 偏向: 低于 95.15 中位时中性偏空;多头需要收复 96.48。
- 关键价位: 93.82 / 94.59 / 95.15 / 96.48。
- 08:00–16:00(if-then): 如果 CL 在 95.15 下方反弹失败,偏向逢高空并看向 93.82;如果收复 95.15,把 96.48 作为下一决策位。
- 20:00–23:00(if-then): 如果日盘收在 95.15 下方,晚间仍偏延续下行/区间轮动;如果收在 96.48 上方,预期转为逼空式均值回归。
- 失效条件: 持续站上 96.48,偏空早盘结构失效。
GC — 计划
- 偏向: 高于 4,724.9 且 DXY 保持在 98.253 下方时偏建设性。
- 关键价位: 4,706.2 / 4,724.9 / 4,729.0 / 4,743.5。
- 08:00–16:00(if-then): 如果非农压低收益率/美元,且 GC 接受 4,743.5 上方,则偏向趋势延续;如果在该位被拒绝并跌破 4,724.9,预期回转至 4,706.2。
- 20:00–23:00(if-then): 如果日盘守在 4,724.9 上方,晚间偏向延续;低于 4,724.9,除非 DXY 创新低,否则先按均值回归处理。
- 失效条件: DXY 升破 98.253 且 GC 跌破 4,706.2,偏多结构失效。
执行检查清单(今天)
- 08:30 非农/薪资公布前不要追第一波冲动;等待收益率、DXY、VIX 确认。
- NQ/ES 的延续交易需要接受快照高点上方,而不是只靠非农瞬间拉升。
- 如果薪资偏热且 ^TNX 突破 4.396%,即使股指仍为绿色,也要降低指数多头偏向。
- CL 把 95.15 当作今日控制线;低于该位,反弹仍可疑。
- GC 只有在 DXY 维持弱势且 4,743.5 从阻力转支撑时,才适合继续追多。
- 进入晚间美联储讲话群之前,只有日盘收近高位才优先看延续;否则先假设均值回归。
