Yesterday ECB President Draghi delivered on his promise to take whatever steps were needed to save the euro. Grabbing fewer headlines, the China Daily reported on Beijing’s plan for twenty-five new rail projects, an economic booster totaling $157 billion over the next three to eight years. Across the pond, Fed Chairman Bernanke has made it somewhat clear that he has both the means and the will to take extraordinary monetary action to assist struggling employment numbers in this country. However, whether such action is needed remains a seminal question. On Thursday data showed a greater-than-expected rise in US private sector employment as employers added to their workforces at the fastest pace in five months, a jump in the ISM’s non-manufacturing employment index, and a drop in weekly jobless filings to their lowest level in a month. US futures are trading higher this morning with the NASDAQ and S&P500 up 0.4% as of this writing and the DJIA up 0.2%.

Thursday’s macro posts showed private sector employment up 201K in August according to ADP, the largest climb in five months, compared to July’s upward-revised 173K (revised from 163K), and above forecasts of a 143K advance. The advance in ADP’s reported new hirings came from small businesses and service providers.

Weekly jobless claims fell 12K to a less-than-expected 365K for the week ending September 1, from 377 the previous week, well below estimates of 375K.

Outplacement firm Challenger Gray reported 32,239 job cuts planned in August, less than July’s 36,855.

The ISM non-manufacturing index revealed a surprise increase to 53.7 in August from July’s 52.6, up from forecasts of a decline to 53.0. Of Fed-watching significance, the employment index rose 4.5 points to 53.8; business activity/production fell 1.6 points to 55.6.

Today’s data brings the market-moving, nonfarm payroll number, one that President Obama knew the results of before taking the podium last night, and one that Fed members will weigh heavily before making next week’s decision on whether or not to set loose another round of quantitative easing. Yesterday’s jobs data caused a flurry of NFP fine-tuning, leaving a preponderance of forecasts for the preopen August employment number at 125-130K job additions versus earlier forecasts of 120K. The unemployment rate, however, is expected to remain steady at 8.3%, higher than 8% for the 43rd straight month, and still worthy of Bernanke’s “grave concern.”

So far this morning the risk appetites remain whetted. As a usual sign of heighted risk appetites, the US dollar has fallen, currently trading down 0.3% at 80.896. Demonstrating investors’ sense that President Draghi’s “outright monetary transaction” (OMT) scheme will indeed prove a game-changer of eurozone fortunes, the euro has extended Thursday’s rally, trading up 0.4% to 1.2684 against the US dollar today.

Asian markets closed sharply higher, lifted by news of China’s plans for infrastructure spending. Leading the region’s gains, China’s Shanghai Composite closed 3.7% higher today, for a 3.9% weekly advance. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng was not far behind, surging 3.1%. Japan’s Nikkei gained 2.2%; South Korea’s Kospi rose 2.6%; Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.4%. On the back China’s infrastructure plans, copper prices have surged 1.7%.

European bourses are trading higher as well, extending yesterday’s Draghi drive. France’s CAC is leading with 1.2% gains, while Germany’s DAX is up 0.8% and the UK FTSE 100 is up 0.2%. Among the troubled peripherals, Italy’s FTSE MIB is 2.1% higher, Athens’ AEX is up 1.6%, while Spain’s IBEX 35 trades 0.9% higher. Spanish 10-years are showing the effect of Draghi’s bond-buying plan, with yields below 5.8% for the first time in four months. Worries surrounding the plan continue to be voiced, however, including: will the conditions prove too dire for Spain or Italy to accept? And will they request aid at all? Will Germany’s legal system acquiesce? Yet, for the moment the consensus has accepted OMT as a valuable tool for preserving the integrity of the single-currency union, realizing further unifying steps need to be undertaken.
