Futures Rise Ahead Of Employment Report

Employment data is due on Thursday morning which could affect a soaring futures market. While the month of September has been difficult for Wall Street, rising futures and positive jobs data could help soften the blow. Even so, all three major indices will suffer an overall decline in September. Fallout from Evergrande and debt ceiling talks in Washington have made investors nervous across the global markets. As a result, investors turned to old favorites with Exxon Mobil ($XOM@US), Chevron($CVX@US), J.P. Morgan Chase ($JPM@US), Citigroup ($C@US), and Goldman Sachs ($GS@US) rising nearly 1% in early trading.
