Early indications suggest that Wall Street stocks may open Thursday’s session modestly lower, as traders pause ahead of some key economic data. Global cues are mixed, with Asian stocks closing mostly higher, while the European markets are trading mixed amid the release of lukewarm eurozone private sector activity data. Also causing concerns would be data on the world’s second largest economy, namely China, which saw its manufacturing sector contract for a third straight month. Commodities are firmer and the dollar is giving back some ground. The domestic markets are likely to closely track economic data on jobless claims, existing home sales and regional manufacturing activity.
