Hello Everyone

Yesterday saw the "Markets" fall big style as "bad" forces combined to knock spots of the shares, with both the Dow and S&P 500 posting their first monthly drops since January of this year.

The only possible light at the end of the tunnel could come with the ISM Manufacturing PMI report due at 3pm (BST), just one of 13 data reports today.

Close of trading:
with the Dow and S&P 500 posting their first monthly drop since January
The Dow Jones Global Indexes: 16563.30 -317.06 (-1.88%)

Nasdaq Composite Index: 4369.77 -93.13 (-2.09%)

The S&P 500 Index: 1930.67 -39.40 (-2.00%)

Gold didn't escape the downward rush either, as it too fell over 15.00 points during the day (Thursday) to close at 1282.25.

Current price: 1284.56
