    david fryBy David Fry (ETF Digest): The global contraction has reached U.S. markets. The week in U.S. markets was going to be difficult and challenging with employment and ISM data dominating combined with earnings. Overall, things were okay given the heavy dose of data until Thursday afternoon when investors began to bail from markets. The ADP Employment report Wednesday wasn't inspiring but the ISM Mfg Index was better than expected. Jobless Claims Thursday were also better than expected but the ISM Services data was a big miss leading to selling. Eurozone unemployment Thursday was reported at 10.9% and Friday the eurozone reported the PMI was 46.9 vs 49.2 confirming a likely recession. Friday's U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls Report showed only 115K new jobs with over 500K workers leaving the employment rolls.

      Nothing like a solid dose of schizophrenia to start the week, following Chinese PMI news which showed that once again the Chinese economy was both contracting and expanding at the same time. Sure, one can justify it by saying HSBC looks at smaller companies while the official data tracks larger SMEs but the reality is that just like in the US, so China has learned when all else fails, baffle with BS is the best strategy.
