- Gold is drifting lower, down -0.3%. The dollar was basically unchanged. U.S. Futures are pointing slightly higher.
- The latest producer price index will be published at 8:30 am, with economists basically expecting similar figures to last month's at +0.5% gain, or +0.2% excluding food and energy.
- Michigan Consumer Sentiment will come out just before 10 am, and analysts expect an unchanged reading at 84.1.
- JP Morgan announced Q2 earnings of $1.60 per share, beating analysts expectations for $1.44 per share. However, the stock is trading modestly lower. Wells Fargo ($o.93/share expected) will announce earnings this morning at 8 am.

- Data showed China's risky shadow banking activity appears to have declined in June as "aggregate financing," which includes off-balance-sheet products, fell to 1.04 trillion RMB, against 1.275 trillion RMB expected. This suggests banks have heeded Beijing's warning to ramp down, the FT says.

- The aforementioned drop in the Shanghai composite may have been sparked by an unscripted comment made by Chinese minister Lou Jiwei, who said the country was ready to tolerate GDP growth of 6.5%, instead of the official goal of 7.5%, according to Bloomberg.
- The Wall Street Journal has a report out showing Thomson Reuters' insider deal for an advanced look at the aforementioned Michigan Consumer Sentiment index is not unique.
