Good Morning:

We start the week off with the news that Mitt Romney has picked Paul Ryan to be his VP running mate.

Greek Q2 GDP a bit better than expected. Actual -6.2%  expected -7%  Last month-6.5%.

Japan Q2 GDP +.3% q/q.  +1.4% y/y.  The markets were looking for +2.5% y/y.

Bank of America cuts China’s GDP forecast:
2012 GDP cut to 7.7% from 8%.

Gold and Oil are higher.  Silver lower.

Asian equity markets were lower-Europe is mixed-US Futures are lower.

HAVE A GREAT DAY & GOO DLUCK
