Markets are trading lower this morning after some weak PMI data from Europe released today. The minutes from the Fed meeting did little to spark a sustained move as the Dow has an initial jump higher before quickly retracing back to pre-minute levels to closed flat on the day. Elsewhere, Goldman Sachs Chief Economist expects the Fed to hike rates in September 2015,although there is a risk of a Fed bungle if it hikes too early, adding that low inflation may mean the Fed pushes back the first rate hike to 2016. Chinese HSBC manufacturing PMI came in lower than expected overnight with a reading of 50 which shows stagnation. Today we have a raft of PMI data across the Eurozone and States which may be worthwhile keeping an eye on.
