The September E-mini Dow index futures seem to be in the process of a recovery bounce this morning, helped by a shift in sentiment overnight. Some traders suggest that the market was simply oversold, while others suggest that residual international strength is capable of supporting equity prices. Perhaps the market is garnering some support from the Burger King private equity buyout rumors. However, there was some concern over whether the market would be able to maintain gains in the wake of the early U.S. number flow later today. At least for the time being, the market seems to have carved out some form of consolidation zone on the charts just below the even-number 10,000 level.
