Good Morning,
NASDAQ Futures are down 5 with -4 Fair Value, Dow Futures are down 17. Futures were green earlier and have drifted lower through the morning ahead of the July jobs data.

Yesterday, AAPL opened up and peaked near 116.5 at 9:32am, immediately selling off and hit 114.19 by 11:14am, a mere 2 hours later. By 2:30pm there was some recovery back to 115.73, and then a pullback towards 115 for the remainder of the day. AAPL closed the intra-day session at 115.13.
This morning in pre-market, AAPL opened up nearly flat at 115. By 5:06am AAPL peaked at 115.28 on low volume. Since, AAPL has drifted lower to 114.74 at 8:10am on moderate volume. As the open approaches AAPL has been recovering back to 115 and is currently down 34 cents at 114.79.
