• Schedule for Week of September 6, 2015
Tuesday:
• At 9:00 AM ET, the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index for August.
• At 10:00 AM, the Fed will release the monthly Labor Market Conditions Index (LMCI).
• At 3:00 PM, Consumer Credit for July from the Federal Reserve. The consensus is for an increase of $18 billion in credit.
From CNBC: Pre-Market Data and Bloomberg futures: currently S&P futures are up 20 and DOW futures are up 150 (fair value).
Oil prices were down over the last week with WTI futures at $44.61 per barrel and Brent at $47.63 per barrel. A year ago, WTI was at $97, and Brent was at $100 - so prices are down over 50% year-over-year.
Here is a graph from Gasbuddy.com for nationwide gasoline prices. Nationally prices are at $2.39 per gallon (down more than $1.00 per gallon from a year ago). Gasoline prices will probably continue to decline over the next month (follow oil prices down).
