If futures are anything to go by we stand to se a bright start to the open

S&P futures are up around 20 points ahead of the cash open. The Dow is up 186. Today could be a big day in seeing how much of the recent stock market falls have been down to China

The three big stories in play are US growth, China and commodities. Europe has been buoyed by Chinese GDP not falling into a fiery hole, so can the yanks follow

If we see a positive start evaporate through the session it could spell trouble for risk trades again
