Bobbys Coner-Open Market-Aug.3.2012

Good Morning:

 We have US July job and non-farm payroll  data due out at 8:30 AM.

The latest guesstimate for NFP is a positive number, either side of 100K.
This is after June’s 80K increase.
The unemployment rate is expected to stay steady at 8.2%.

Today’s moves all stem from ECB President Draghi’s comments yesterday.
The markets were initially disappointed in the lack of immediate action-but it seems the markets are accepting the position that at least now, the ECB has a sense of urgency finally.  The ECB will inevitably intervene in both Spanish and Italian bond markets, with a special interest in the shorter end of the curve.

Asian equity markets were lower-Europe and US Futures are higher.

Oil, Gold and Silver are all higher.

HAVE A GREAT DAY & GOOD LUCK
