There is concern about the strength of the U.S. employment report, in that if the Fed has to move it will move on the upside.

Too great a preoccupation with motives (especially one's own motive) is liable to lead to too little concern for consequences.

After two really heavy down days, where we lost over 375 points (on the TSE 300), it's not surprising that we enjoyed a bit of a correction today.

The market is already in a serious downtrend so any disappointment is going to clobber the market.

This concern suggests it will take a lot of strength to get the Fed to tighten beyond 5 per cent.

It's just another source of concern as to the strength of the Connecticut economy. The state has been slow to recover the jobs that were lost during the downturn.
