Today, we will receive several interesting and significant macroeconomic data points. Investors will primarily focus on the release of the ISM Services Index and the ADP employment report from the U.S. labor market.

However, given the volatile and uncertain policies of Donald Trump, leading indicators may prove to be more interesting. One such report today is the ISM Services Index.
