Here Comes US Flash PMI...

Markit's flash US manufacturing PMI for October is set for release at 9:45 am ET.

Expectations are for the reading to come in at 57.0, down slightly from 57.5 last month, but still indicating growth in the US manufacturing sector.

The flash PMI from the US comes after Markit's flash reading for Chinese manufacturing, which beat expectations but was not, overall, a very encouraging report.

We'll be back with the live numbers when they hit.
