News Headline Summary

US equity markets have seen a relatively sharp pull-back from the higher levels over the last 15 minutes as the Wall St close approaches with no fundamental news cited as driving the move

Update details:

- Even though there has been no fundamental news in recent trade traders could be taking profits after the higher than expected ISM manufacturing data this morning from the US. In the background the weaker than expected Chinese PMI data from over the weekend still hints at jitters over global growth and the USD-index has come off session lows after possibly being oversold into the Bernanke speech earlier.
