Green across the board, IGM T40 +88 loosing some traction now. 

A lot of new highs yesterday to name a few, SOL, TKG, JSE with Richemont and Mondi consecutive days and SA T40 just missed it.  Consecutive new low for Capitec and Abil also on the bandwagon.

Non-farm & unemployment numbers today in US 14:30.

OK, so down again in Europe because of, amongst other data, poor US payroll figures :-
Quote
The S&P 500 futures have surrendered their gains in reaction to the latest set of economic data.

July nonfarm payrolls came in at 162K versus the 175K expected by the Briefing.com consensus. Nonfarm private payrolls added 161K against the 195K consensus. The unemployment rate was reported at 7.4%, while the Briefing.com consensus expected the rate to tick down to 7.5% from 7.6%.

Hourly earnings declined 0.1% while the Briefing.com consensus expected an uptick of 0.2%. Average workweek was reported at 34.4, which was below the Briefing.com consensus, which expected a reading of 34.5.

June personal income rose 0.3% while the Briefing.com consensus expected an uptick of 0.5%. Meanwhile, personal spending increased 0.5%, above the Briefing.com consensus, which called for an uptick of 0.4%.

Lastly, core PCE prices ticked up 0.2%, in-line with the Briefing.com consensus.


Fcukdat - what a traders market - and I am not one of them.  :'(

 Asia red with Nikkei @ -4.00%, US futures down, gold down, IGM T40 @ -155 and why is that? Say with me class:  Because:

20:30 US Fed Bernanke Speaking
11:30 BoE Inflation report

Are we learning yet?

Hope you are short again. :)

Why is the Nikkei's movement different than Hang Seng i.e N down 1.27% and HS up 0.4% ?

South African manufacturing growth unexpectedly slowed in June, undermining the outlook for Africa’s biggest economy.

Factory output expanded 0.4 percent, down from a revised 2.1 percent in May, Statistics South Africa said on its website. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of 11 economists was 4.3 percent. Output contracted 3 percent in the month.

2013-08-08   12:00 PM    South Africa     Manufacturing Production YoY     2013-06-30     0.4%     2.1%(previous revised)

So will this hit the Indi sector? Perhaps all sectors. :-[
I started here with nothing and still have most of it left.

Japan is only Asian market down atm (Nikkei - 0.70%) after worse than expected QoQ GDP earlier this morning. Shanghai (+1.69%) & Hang Seng (+1.90%) after newspaper 'South China Morning Post' reported that Beijing was 'quietly offering financial stimulus' to key cities and provinces to support local economies.

On the local front MON posted a 48% jump in first-half earnings with yet another new high reached on Thursday, also new highs for NAS, MTN, SOL, TKG (please add if you want to, I'm only watching those I'm interested in) with Harmony and Nuworld reaching new lows. 

IGM T40 +100 atm, gold futures up.

No further significant eco reporting for today.

Seems like a long day.

Don't think so, SA economic data doesn't affect our market for too long, actually doesn't affect rest of the world's markets either :'(, our data insignificant.
