Market this morning is waiting for the factory order number to come out before it decides which direction it’ll take. Economists are expecting the number to rise 1.2% in August compare to 1.9% decline in July. It’ll probably be best for the market if the number is in line. If it’s too strong, rate hike worries will hasten. If it’s too weak, recession worry may take hold.
