The main focus this week will be watching the summer doldrums
fade away into the Fall price-action that will be much more desirable, with
much more volume. We must stay patient
this morning as the price-action returns from the Holiday weekend, and we
remember that most of the markets are going to be keeping an eye on the Non-Farm
Payroll on Friday.

We have news this morning from PMI
Manufacturing, ISM Manufacturing Index, and Construction
Spending. We know that the ISM
Manufacturing Index is a Red-Star news event, so we will be watching
closely during that time for high-percentage-trades on our charts.

We saw a 55.4 reading in July from the ISM Manufacturing
Index, which will be hard to beat this morning.
A reading above 50.0 indicates growth in that sector, so we will
certainly be looking for this news today for clues ahead of the Non-Farm
Payroll report on Friday.

seen the threat of military action in Syria fade away in the short term. We will continue to monitor the situation in

We can see a lot of volatility on the charts over the last
few days of Holiday-weekend trading, which tells us to be very careful trading
early in the session today.

We will be looking for selling-opportunities this morning to
go in the direction of the long-term trend on our anchor charts, however we
will be cautious this morning because we are coming out of a holiday weekend,
and we have a very important news event on Friday that we are suspicious people
may be waiting for this week.
