Bobbys Corner-Open Market-Oct.3.2012

Posted: 03 Oct 2012 05:11 AM PDT

Go0d Morning:

Little movement in the markets today:
China  is still on holiday-as is Korea.
Germany has National Day (Reunification Day)-but you can still clear Euro payments.

Service sector PMI data is the winner in today’s economic news race:
China dropped to 53.7 from 56.3-the lowest in 20 months.
Spain dropped to 40.2 from 44-even worse than the worst expectations.
UK dropped to 52.2 from 53.7
France dropped to 45 from 46.1-flash reading.
Germany dropped to 49.7 from50.6
Euro Zone dropped to 46.1 from 46 flash- down significantly from August’s 47.2 reading.

We are awaiting the ADP payroll data-but who really cares-as ADP has been a very weak predictor of non farm payrolls-but it
will keep us all entertained for a while this morning.

Asian equity markets were higher-expect Tokyo.
European markets are mixed-with US Futures slightly higher.

Oil is lower-Gold and Silver firmer this morning.

HAVE A GREAT DAY & GOOD LUCK
