COMMENTS: 

Australia and India have already raised their rates...We'll be watching what the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan will do to help their respective economies to stabilize and then grow!......The U.S. Unemployment Rate will also be a very important market shaker at the end of the week....Interesting! What do you think?
