TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

There has been no end to the steady selling across indices, and once again it is Nasdaq that has taken the brunt of the downward move. Still, such a pullback is entirely healthy, and indeed welcome, and fits well within the historical pattern of both an average September and of those in mid-term years such as this,” said IG’s Chris Beauchamp.

German factory orders slid by 0.9% month-on-month in July (consensus: 1.6%), according to the Federal Office of Statistics, weighed down by a 4.0% decline in orders from outside the single currency bloc and a 2.7% contraction in those for capital equipment.
