    China cut its economic growth rate to 7.4% which is weak by their recent standards. They also targeted inflation at 4% which may be a pipedream. The eurozone reports contraction given their PMI readings. It's hard to believe this is bullish in anyway. Separately, and perhaps with great divergence, U.S. economic data continues to creep higher with ISM Services data (57.3 vs 56.8 prior and consensus 56) and Factory Orders (-1% vs prior 1.4% and consensus -1.6%).
