Oct 3rd 2018 Pro Pre market Prep



Good morning
Equities are gapping in premarket ahead of new ISM and PMI data at 10 am ET. Concerns over Italy have eased a bit as Italy government plans to cut its budget deficit. The petroleum status report comes out @ 10:30 ET and could impact oil and energy names. The dollar is basically flat while oil and gold are both up slightly in premarket. The action has been pretty choppy this week and follow through has been challenging to find unless it is in the really highly speculative squeeze plays names like IGC. The lofty cannabis sector is extremely volatile and for some of these names it is going to end very badly for the chasers. Be careful in the space and play size appropriate.
