Joe Mazzola with Charles Schwab says investors using the ADP employment report as a comparison to Friday's non-farm payrolls print if doesn't come out is a "stretch." He explains that the amount of government workers being furloughed will have more of an impact than markets are pricing in. Kevin Gordon adds that this government shutdown is "different" from those prior, saying that data being delayed will add fog to the Fed's interest rate path. He also compares the performance of market leaders to laggards and whether a slowdown from the former will help the latter.
