AMERICAN traders will be poring over crunch sets of data this week after a key index plummeted to its lowest level since the depths of the recession in 2008-09.

The Empire State index – one of several widely watched barometers of manufacturing in the US – collapsed to a score of minus 14.9 in August from July’s positive score of 3.9.

Most economists had forecast a slight upward movement.

The shock result lifts the chance of America’s highly anticipated rise in interest rates being delayed to the end of the year.

LONDON, Aug 18 - Financial spreadbetters expected Britain's FTSE 100 to open 15 to 17 points higher, or around 0.2 percent, Germany's DAX to open 32 to 34 points higher, or around 0.3 percent, and France's CAC 40 to open 16 to 19 points higher, or 0.4 percent.

its all about probabilities.

Maybe it isnt the right time, but I could go in anyway.

No point in going in and thinking its 100% going to do down and stubbornly holding on because of the conviction.

Trade what you see.

"may". Not a man of conviction, are you lol

[ariesr] 17/8/2015 17:03

Fancy short on this for 40 points. Time may be now.

We missed the DM weather pics.

Indeed.

No adverse or very warm weather weather to report, by the way; all very bland.

All this spin about rate rises any quarter soon on either side of the pond should be ignored.Canada, Australia, Japan, China, much of the rest of Asia and the Eurozone are in the merde.If the UK and US are not to wade in knee deep, they need to be patient.

The Fed Bank's own Empire State manufacturing index number released today was so appalling, the Indices are rising as a rate rise for this year disappears from view.

Today's Guardian headline 'UN condemns market attack as corpses seen lying everywhere' did not refer to Canary Wharf, though one might be forgiven for thinking so.Roll on Thursday and the KiaOval.

That the Main Index for UK listed shares can go from +0.5% to -0.28% in the first hour of trading, without any intervening macro or corporate news is irrational.
