  • While large short covering flows helped Treasuries bounce off lows by midmorning as desks set sights on Friday's headline jobs data for September, stocks recovered from morning lows, led by a rebound in Information Technology and continued strength in oil and gas stocks as the Mideast conflict continued to support crude prices.
  • Currently, the Dow is up 61.8 points (0.15%) at 42218.15, S&P E-Minis up 8 points (0.14%) at 5767, Nasdaq up 43.7 points (0.2%) at 17950.33.
