Celestica plunged after a recent headline despite beating Q1 estimates and raising full-year guidance.

Markets are positioned for a narrow range but could swing sharply depending on whether the print comes in near expectations, materially above 120,000, or well below 40,000. Each outcome would alter Fed rate cut odds, push yields, and reweight leadership between growth and value.
