The Chicago PMI reading touching 50.0 which is the boom/bust level helped erases concerns that were generated by the decline in Chinese stocks. The data continues the trend of improving activity in the U.S. which we could see in tomorrow's ISM reading. If we see a similar improvement in the broader reading then the greenback could be back on the defensive. Additionally, if we see significant improvement in the employment component, expectations for the NFP report on Friday will rise. The employment report will be an interesting release with the holiday weekend to follow, a recipe of low volumes and significant event risk could lead to extreme volatility.
