Today's Key Market News - Consumer Exposed

Stock futures are indicated higher this morning despite a clear bright red warning flag from the personal spending data released this morning, which was slightly below expectations. The market continues to seek sharp turns before it moves, but with an economy this large, those kinds of turns are only caused by slap in the face type events, like 9/11 for instance or the Saddam Sell-off. When you're looking for consumer softening, don't expect it to show up out of the blue. Rather, pay attention to the mounting case and the logical direction of relative factors. We are preparing a "Today's Coffee" for you to take a closer look at the details.
