Ten-year Notes: Interest rate traders are focused on tomorrow’s non-farm payrolls report for September, but will have to digest what is expected to be a weak U.S. factory orders report first. The Commerce Department is expected to show that factory orders in August fell 2.8%, according to a Bloomberg survey of economists. This compares to a 3.7% rise in July. In early trade, December Ten-year Note futures are trading at 109-105, down 0-045.
Copper: After a run to contract highs yesterday, December Copper is giving back some of its recent gains this morning, as officials of Southern Copper Corp. agreed to meet with workers at its Peruvian mines to try to settle the strike that started on October 2nd. Traders should expect trading to remain light as China, the world’s largest consumer of Copper, is on a weeklong holiday. In early trade, December Copper is trading at 373.20, down 2.15.
Euro Currency: December Euro Currency futures are little changed, as traders await an announcement by the European Central Bank on interest rates. It is expected that the ECB will leave rates steady at 4%, dashing fears of a 25 basis point increase due to credit market concerns. In early trade, December Euro Currency futures are trading at 1.4127, up 0.001.
