Futures Higher

Oil is back over $50 so far this morning and there's a full slate of data due for release today, with November factory orders, the Institute of Supply Management's non-manufacturing index for December, and November pending sales all due at around 10 a.m. Eastern. And don't forget we have the all important unemployment number on Friday. Also scheduled for release, at 2 p.m., are minutes from the last meeting of the Federal Reserve's interest-rate setting committee.

Earnings are around the corner and unemployment is on deck so flexibility is key here. Good luck today.

On the second half of your cartoon, you could also say "West reacts to two year long illegal blockade of Gaza which prevents food and medicine from reaching children" or "West reacts to killing of 550 Palestinians" etc. etc.

Let us just look at the plain numbers killed on both sides. That is all we need to know.
