After ending up 0.33% higher at 3046 points yesterday, following the 25 basis points drop in key rates announced by the Fed, the S&P500 index should start the session slightly lower by 0.1% amid uncertainties about a trade agreement between China and the United States.These announcements also show the trend in Europe, following new annual records at the beginning of the session. 

>Summer statistics show that weekly unemployment registrations have risen to 218k (consensus 215k), household spending is only up by 0.2% (0.3% anticipated) and household incomes are in line with expectations, +0.3%. 

Graphically, the trend remains upward in hourly data above 3022 points and only a drop below this level would militate for the start of a consolidation towards 3000 points and then 2985 points.
