Good Morning:

The Euro traded over 1.59 versus the dollar overnight as traders await the interest rate decision by the ECB.  As expected, the ECB left interest rates unchanged at 4%.

The BOE cut interest rates by 25 bps to 5% amid signs of a weak economy.

European equity markets are lower as concerns that corporate profits will be worst than expected as borrowing costs continue to rise with the ever growing credit crisis.

US Futures are pointing to a lower opening on Wall Street this morning.

Oil: $111.40

Gold: $940.40

Today’s economic data:

Trade Balance:  Expected: -57.5 Bil USD   Prior:  -58.2 Bil USD
