Manufacturing in the New York area has seen a surprising rebound in June as confidence in the future hit its highest level in nearly 11 years. The New York Fed's Empire State Manufacturing Index posted a reading of -0.2 for the month. While that represents a relatively standstill in present conditions, it was far better than the -35 that economists surveyed by Dow Jones had expected.

Haefele added, however, that Thursday's sell-off highlights "the importance of a selective approach to stocks after the recent sharp rally." —Imbert
8:19 am: Fears of a second covid wave still spooking markets
While coronavirus cases have moderated across the U.S. as a whole, flareups in states that relaxed restrictions early are causing concern of a second wave. Total positives rose 1% on Sunday while deaths rose 0.3% to 109,657, according to the Covid Tracking Project. While those numbers reflect a continued taming of trends from when the pandemic first hit, some states are seeing significant jumps. Alabama saw a 4.1% rise in total cases on Sunday, Arizona rose 3.6% and Tennessee rose 3%. Those gains were being largely offset by sharp declines in the pace of growth among Northeast states, but the threat of a rise in cases still spooked markets. Wall Street was headed for another rough opening Monday coming off a sharp drop last week. – Cox
