Good morning. US equity futures are a little higher, sp +4pts, we're set to open at 2094. A move to the sp'2110s looks due in the near term. USD is +0.1%... holding above the DXY 100 threshold. Metals are u/c, whilst Oil is -0.2%.

Summary
*Chicago PMI data (9.45am)... econ-bulls should be looking for at least 53/55.

A little overnight chop in futures land... with the smaller 15/60min equity cycles offering upside across today. A daily close in the 2100s is very viable.
Last weeks low of 2070 looks pretty secure... as the market now looks toward the ECB and the Friday jobs data.

Doom chatter from Hunter, with Martenson
Like many of the doomers, I think Mr M' has almost completely lost his mind in the last few years. Its the same spiel in almost every single interview, I suppose some will tout that 'he'll eventually be right'. For the moment though... its largely hysteria talk.

Overnight Asia action
Japan: -0.7% @ 19747... unable to close >20K
China: an early afternoon low, -3.3% @ 3327, but seeing some 'magical' late day recovery, settling +0.3% @ 3345. For the month, the Shanghai comp' was +2.0%... sitting on old support.
Frankly, China bulls should be very relieved at how the day/month closed.

Have a good Monday
