'Market Focus' in the US this evening
"Stocks have been on the rise the past couple of days. But a decline for payrolls will leave many asking why." [Source: nasdaq.com., Mark Pender]
'Market Reflections' from previous session (02.09.2010)
"A rise for pending home sales was a rare bit of good news for the housing sector and helped to widen out the optimism following Wednesday's ISM manufacturing report. Stocks extended yesterday's gains with the Dow rising one-half percent to 10,320. Money moved into commodities for a second day with oil ending more than one percent higher to $75. Money moved out of the safety of Treasuries where the 30-year yield rose seven basis points to 3.71 percent." [Source: nasdaq.com., Mark Pender]

Of note in the US this evening:-- Employment Situation [
Market moving indicator]
[The employment situation is a set of labor market indicators based on two separate surveys in this one report. Based on the Household Survey, the unemployment rate measures the number of unemployed as a percentage of the labor force. Other key series come from the Establishment Survey (of business establishments). Nonfarm payroll employment counts the number of paid employees working part-time or full-time in the nation's business and government establishments. The average workweek reflects the number of hours worked in the nonfarm sector. Average hourly earnings reveal the basic hourly rate for major industries as indicated in nonfarm payrolls.]- Dennis Lockhart
