 The S&P 500 futures fell to lows following a below-consensus nonfarm payrolls report. Futures on the S&P 500 currently trade nine points below fair value.

January nonfarm payrolls came in at 113,000 while the Briefing.com consensus expected a reading of 175,000. Nonfarm private payrolls added 142,000 against the 161,000 expected by the consensus. The unemployment rate fell to 6.6% while the consensus expected a reading of 6.7%.

Hourly earnings increased 0.2%, in-line with expectations. The average workweek was reported at 34.4 against the 34.5 expected by the consensus.

The markets like it. :) The unusual cold weather in January seems to be the culprit.

Most Asian markets made guarded gains on Monday, encouraged that Wall Street was able to weather a seemingly disappointing U.S. jobs report, though there was more than enough event risk ahead to keep investors cautious. Crucially, the new head of the Federal Reserve, Janet Yellen, delivers her first testimony to the House on Tuesday and the Senate on Thursday, and markets will be hoping for reassurance that policy will stay loose for a long time to come.

US ditched weak US jobs report as jaDEB said in favour of higher markets with Dow up +1.1%, S&P + 1.3%, Nas +1.7%. Don’t know ‘about you but something feels off here, this doesn't bode well for me thus only focusing on shorts afters spikes atm; especially considering trading volume in US wasn't up to usual averages (6.09 billion shares traded, January average 6.94 billion). Call me a cynic, but I think we're in for a down week.

Alsi  up Friday to 45 340 (+0.79%) & T40 40 777 @ +0.77%.

Not much happening on eco reporting today.

Asian shares firmed and gold prices hit a three-month high on Tuesday as investors wagered the new head of the U.S. Federal Reserve would navigate her first testimony to Congress without rocking the boat for markets. Fed Chair Janet Yellen appears before the House Financial Services Committee at 1500 GMT and will likely face questions on the state of the labor market and the future pace of tapering.

Asian shares rallied for a fourth straight session on Wednesday, as upbeat trade data from China and an optimistic economic outlook from Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen whetted investors' appetite for risk. Investors took heart from the strong performance on Wall Street and lifted MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan about 0.8 percent. Australia's main index added 0.7 percent

HAR has been on an overall steady decline since 2012.  On the other had it has also been up 17% in the last 30 days which might have you thinking that maybe the tide has turned.
It was last doing okay-ish Feb 2009 @ 13285 but in June the same year it was @ 6870, July’09 to Nov’11 back to 10402 and then again Dec’11 (11400) to Dec’13 (2378) down hard.

2009:   -41%
2010:    +9.51%
2011:    +14.46%
2012:    -24.74%
2013:    -53.43%

For me personally, a good one to play with but not considering it as a LT-buy atm.  Not until at least second half of this year when a second look might be more appropriate. 
The good news for those who like this one is:  that’s just one opinion and it happens to be mine so don’t fuss and do your own thing. ;D

German gross domestic product rose 0.4 percent from the third quarter, when it increased by 0.3 percent, the Federal Statistics Office in Wiesbaden said today. It predicted an expansion of a quarter of a percent on Jan. 15, while economists forecast growth of 0.3 percent, according to a Bloomberg News survey. French GDP rose 0.3 percent after stagnating in the third quarter, more than the 0.2 percent economists predicted, while the Dutch economy grew 0.7 percent, compared with estimates for a 0.3 percent expansion.
