Good Morning! US Futures are in rally mode, with the S&P up 30bp but off overnight highs. This is despite a sea of red over in Europe, which finds the DAX off 15bp, with only Healthcare in the green early. The FTSE is off 45bp, weighed down by Banks and Energy companies - but the Miners are acting better as Glencore raises their debt reduction target, stock leaps 10%+. Over in Asia, China/HK initially higher on reports of IPO reform but rolled over on little news, losing ~50bp. The Nikkei continued its slide from the 200dma, losing 1.3% as exporters were whacked on the surging Yen - while Strong Aussie jobs data reduced chance of another easing of monetary policy, hitting the banks and leaving Sydney 90bp lower.

The Swiss Central Bank lewd rates unch, but stressed it still thought the franc was too strong, while the A$ is flying on the jobs print, and hawkish headlines has the Kiwi$ running as well. Most metals are under pressure, while headlines that OPEC Raises Oil Output to 3 1/2-Yr High has hit WTI into the red and a test of yesterday's lows - Brent is faring a bit better into tomorrow's expiry - with the spot contract continuing to hold $40 in early trade. Almost all the "softs" are under pressure, still reeling from WASDE headlines yesterday.
