NewsWare’s Trade Talk: Thursday, December 8

S&P Futures are displaying gains in the pre-market. The market has been weak for 5 straight sessions. Weakness ahead of an FOMC meeting is not unusual, however, prior to next week's FOMC meeting we have some key inflationary reports due out including tomorrow's PPI and next week's CPI reports. European markets are slightly lower ahead of a speech later today from ECB president Lagarde. Oil prices hold onto slight gains this morning.
