After yesterday's cascading sell-off in U.S. indices, today Wall Street tries to rebound. The weaker than expected JOLTS report failed to pressure indices lower. Factory orders rose 5% monthly, slightly exceeding 4.8% exp. after -3.3% drop in July. Yields on 10-year U.S. Treasury securities are trading down slightly by 2 basis points, to 3.82%.
