OPTIONSMART MORNING UPDATE: Found support amid bargain-hunting 

1. OUTLOOK: The market staged a late-session rally, as investors piled into bank and technology shares. ack-to-school sales for the nation's retailers were weaker than a year ago, but results still topped analysts' forecasts. Investors are still looking for is continual improvement in the jobs market. Trading volume is likely to be light and markets could be particularly volatile ahead of the three-day Labor Day holiday. The technical chart represents a bullish pattern. U.S. futures point to a higher open.
