WEEKLY MARKET DIGEST: WEAK DATA FROM CHINA TAKES STEAM OUT OF STOCK MARKET RALLY

July 7, 2012

(The Weekly Digest reproduces the morning capsules made available every morning before the market open in the Real Time Feeds to the paying subscribers.) WEAKER THAN EXPECTED EMPLOYMENT DATA July 6, 2012 June non-farm private payrolls came at 80K vs 105K consensus. Whisper number was around 120K – 136K.

July 3, 2012
