Good Morning:

 

The dollar was a touch softer as both the ECB and the BOE left their benchmark interest rates unchanged.  ECB at 4.25%, BOE at 5%.

 

World Equities were mixed overnight- US Futures are lower this morning following AIG’s higher than expected loss.

 

Oil: $890.80                                                     Gold: $120.71

 

Today we have data on:
