Economic Reports Due Out (Times are EST): Jobless Claims (8:30am), Existing Home Sales (10am), Leading Indicators (10am), EIA Natural Gas Report (10:30am), 

My Observations and What to Expect:

  • Futures are moderately lower.
  • It is very possible that futures will open up below 1130 this morning, but I wouldn’t look at it as weakness from the bulls, but more as a pullback at this point. 
  • I would be more concerned if they starting  dropping below 1100-1090. 
  • First time since August we have seen two days in a row in the negative. 
  • Jobless claims that misses, could result in a very nice decline and offer an opportunity to put some capital to work. 
  • A healthy sell-off today, would go a long ways in working off these overbought conditions. 
  • One thing I would keep an eye on has been the volume on the down-days during the past two days of selling – they have been higher than all other days except for 9/2. 

Actions I Will Be Taking:
