What’s in Today’s Report:

  • Monthly Bitcoin Update & Outlook

Futures are moderately lower as markets extend Thursday’s selloff mostly on momentum and following some underwhelming economic data.

Chinese economic data was mixed as retail sales (2.9% vs. (E) 2.7%) beat estimates while Industrial Production (4.9% vs. (E) 5.5%) and Fixed Asset Investment (-1.7% vs. (E) 0.9%) missed expectations.

Today there are no notable economic reports but there are three Fed speakers: Schmid (10:05 a.m. ET), Logan (2:30 p.m. ET) and Bostic (9:20 a.m. ET, 3:20 p.m. ET).  If they’re tone is hawkish towards a December rate cut (as the commentary has been this week from multiple Fed officials) that will further pressure stocks.
