yuky markets today. china PMI showed growth form lats month but sill under 50.
eurozone manufacturing figures poor. services sector better.
what is a tad odd is german business confidence has been growing yet their data has weakened on the manufacturing side? their services was decent.
anyway, the poor data coming our of china is now thought to be a direct result5 of japan growth. business moving from china back to japan. so nothing of issue there.
copper traders went bullish for the first time in 7 weeks on growth.
