US stocks were higher on Friday night (Dow +85 points), Crude oil +2.97% and the SPI is +33 points, as US payrolls increased by 151,000 in August……….. Less than expected….

Yes, the end of the week is finally here and boy, hasn’t been a busy one….

Yes, Wednesday as here and as we prepare ourselves for the official “last day” of the AUS reporting season, we sit down and have a big “sie” of relief…
