OPTIONSMART MORNING UPDATE: Shrugged off weak jobs report

1. OUTLOOK:The market was able to overcome an early weakness that stemmed from a disappointing jobs report. The mood among large traders improved after news that leading economic indicators increased 0.7% in July. Asian markets rebounded Thursday, reassuring investors after a plunge in China's main market Wednesday. The technical chart remains bullish. QQQQ's implied volatility dipped to 52-week lows and this is a bullish sign. U.S.futures point to a higher open.
