Looking ahead
•In the morning we'll get ISM's manufacturing index for June; the street's expecting the number to hold steady with a 51.5 reading.
•Throughout the day the automakers will report motor vehicle sales for the month of June. Last month we saw strong sales leading to a 17.5 million annualized rate.
•And let's get ready to rumble — tomorrow is the big weigh in ... for the 100th edition of the Nathan's Hot Dog eating contest from Coney Island. Friday's event will feature a ceremonial stare-down between rivals like Joey Chestnut, Matt Stonie, and women's contenders like Miki Sudo and Sonya Thomas ahead of the contest on July 4th.
