Dow Jones futures in the red right now this morning

Following an update here, noting the drop back in the S+P 500 futures this morning, that indicative opening price has now fallen further and so have the Dow Jones futures too. On Friday the index reached a new all time record high, at 41,585. The index later closed just off that record, but it was nevertheless a record daily, weekly and monthly closing high for the index, at 41,563. The Dow Jones closed 228 points higher on Friday. However, the index futures are slipping and just now pricing the opening below 41,375. Now, later today, at 2pm GMT we get the August ISM manufacturing index. This is expected to show an improvement last month, to around 47.5, from 46.8 in July. The prices paid component will be important too and that is forecast to moderate slightly, from 52.9, to around 52.5. This index might have an impact not long after live trading resumes today
