U.S. Update: Preparing for Payrolls
FXstreet.com Independent Analyst Team − Stocks in the U.S. recover some upside momentum, and remain slightly green at this point with DJIA up 20 points and S&P up 2.6, still under the 1000 key mark. Market is getting thinner as usual before payrolls; don't expect too much movement for the rest of the day. Maybe some covering, and some positioning, yet more likely, a short consolidation range.
