Charts I’m Watching: Feb 1, 2013

ORIGINAL POST:  9:15 AM

E-mini futures are up big overnight, but have yet to exceed Wednesday’s high.

A positive revision in BLS’s Nov and Dec employment numbers makes 2012 look better than it did, but I’m not sure how it helps today’s 12.3 million unemployed or 8 million underemployed or 2.4 million marginally attached…

 

Markit Mfg PMI actually a little lower than Jan 24 flash numbers.

Verdict: not chasing this ramp job unless it exceeds recent highs — which I don’t believe it will, at least not from this news.

Remember, we have Reuters/U of Michigan Consumer Sentiment coming up at 9:55 and ISM’s Mfg Report on Business at 10:00.
