Morning Notes
US futures are slightly lower this morning as European stocks are trading lower affected by a poor German export data report that reflected the worst levels in over 6 years. This report again raises concerns on the status of the global economy and also has created speculation that the ECB may consider expanding its QE efforts in light of the current state. Asian stocks closed mostly lower.
