- US indices launched today's cash trading higher
- US ISM non-manufacturing index for August at 3:00 pm BST
- Bed Bath & Beyond (BBBY.US) extends sell-off
US indices started a holiday-shortened week higher, while markets continue to assess the outlook for monetary policy. Several speeches from Fed members and new economic data, including today's ISM Services figures at 3:00 pm BST, will be closely watched for clues about the central bank's rate path.
US30 fell sharply on Friday and is currently testing local support at 31300 pts, which coincides with 23.6% Fibonacci retracement of the last downward correction. Should break lower occur, next support to watch can be found around 30370 pts, which is marked with the lower limit of the 1:1 structure. On the other hand, if buyers manage to keep index above the aforementioned support level, then another upward move towards resistance at 32360 pts may be launched. Source: xStation5
