Asian markets are up, Dow Jones futures are already up 35 (down 12 in the last few minutes). Gold is 900 while the yield on the Treasury bond fell 9 points to 3.79%. Higher gold prices, among other things, are bets on lower yields in the US which will drive more gold buying.
On Bloomberg, I just heard a Hong Kong economist predict Chinese growth may slow, helping them fight inflation pressures. Since China runs a trade surplus of over $300B with the US, his prediction gives signals for the US business outlook.
