What Employment Report?

There are no significant fundamentals today. This is a fairly light week: Consumer Credit (Tuesday), Mortgage Applications (Wednesday), Jobless Claims and Wholesale Trade (Thursday), International Trade and Consumer Budget (Friday).

The Clint Eastwood/Chrysler Halftime in America ad yesterday may be getting more attention than any macro data today.
